Creating a Project using Codeboard (Programming in the Cloud)
- Beyond Hello World, Java Comments, Variables Primitive operators, Increment Operators, Strings, Getting User Input
Mock Quiz
- Back to Kahoot!
- Hands on challenge > Implement a method using codeboard in Java that converts from Fahrenheit to Celsius and from Celsius to Fahrenheit respectively. These methods take in a parameter as input and return the results. The variables passed to the methods should be initialized in your main method (you may also ask the user for the input). The results from these methods should be printed out in your main method.
Learning Java is fun!
If you want to be a programmer then you have to learn to think like one!
