dear Members,
Yet another assignment, i have to write a progarm that gives temperature in either celcius and fahrenheight to suit the person making the request, obviously there is a lot of maths inolved but any ideas where i can find a tutorial or help getting started.
Thanks
Billy

Not really. More like simple algebra and formulas. There really isn't much help we can give you until you put in some effort beyond the formulas, which you can find on Google.

There's a ton of stuff when you bing "convert celsius to fahrenheit" (or vise versa).

Just search this forum for fahrenheit

have a look at this:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class TempConverter2
{
   //-----------------------------------------------------------------
   //  Computes the Celsius equivalent of a Fahrenheit value read
   //  from the user. Uses the formula C = (5/9)(F - 32).
   //-----------------------------------------------------------------
   public static void main (String[] args)
   {
      final int BASE = 32;
      final double CONVERSION_FACTOR = 5.0 / 9.0;

      double celsiusTemp, fahrenheitTemp;
	  Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

      System.out.print ("Enter a Fahrenheit temperature: ");
      fahrenheitTemp = scan.nextDouble();

      celsiusTemp = CONVERSION_FACTOR * (fahrenheitTemp - BASE);

      System.out.println ("Celsius Equivalent: " + celsiusTemp);
   }
}
