My program reads water temperatures from a river as well as when the temps were recorded from an input file called "biodata.dat." Then the data is outputted in a file called "results.dat" (i havent added this results.dat part in my code but do know how to do it)
The input file looks like this:
2 // number of readings
200707211245 F70.5 // timestamp recored plus temp in Fahrenheit
200708220812 C19.97 // same but in Celsius
I am supposed to arrange the data so that the times and temperature readings(all temp readings must be in Celsius by formula) make sense, like this:
21.38C recorded on 07/21/2007 at 12:45
19.97C recorded on 08/22/2007 at 8:12.
my problem is that i dont know how to make the program only change the fahrenheit temperatures and not the celsius temperatures. how can i write something to tell them apart and use a formula to change specific temps?
btw, the formula from fahrenheit to celsius is C = 5 / 9 (F - 32)
this is the code i have so far:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int numone;
double degrees;
string timestamp,
temp;
ifstream infile;
infile.open("biodata.dat");
if (!infile)
{
cout << "Error opening biodata.dat\n";
system("pause");
}
infile >> numone;
cout << "Number of recordings: "<<numone<<"\n\n";
for (int i=1; i <= (numone); i++)
{
cout<<i<<": ";
infile >> timestamp;
string year = timestamp.substr(0,4);
string month = timestamp.substr(4,2);
string date = timestamp.substr(6,2);
string hour = timestamp.substr(8,2);
string minute = timestamp.substr(10,2);
cout << month << "/" << date << "/" << year << " "
<< hour << ":" << minute << " Temp: ";
infile >> temp; // F to C: (F - 32)(5/9)
string unit = temp.substr(0,1);
string strtemp = temp.substr(1,temp.length());
double atof(char* strtemp);
cout<<strtemp.c_str();
cout<<"\n";
}
cout<<"\n\n";
system("pause");
return 0;
}heres the .dat (text) file:
2
200707211245 F70.5
200708220812 C19.97
