Project: Temperature Converter

Practice the Python project—that converts between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.

Create a Python program that converts temperatures between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin. The goal is to help learners understand basic input handling, conditionals, arithmetic operations, and functions—all in a practical, real-world context.

Goals

By the end of this project, you’ll be able to:

  • Convert temperatures between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.

  • Use input() to get user input.

  • Apply conditionals (if, elif, else) to control program flow.

  • Use functions to organize code for reusability and clarity.

  • Handle invalid input gracefully.

Project breakdown

  • Print a welcome message, explain the conversion options, and prompt the user to choose one.

  • Get the user’s choice and the temperature to convert; handle invalid input.

  • Write a separate function for each type of temperature conversion.

  • Use if/elif/else to call the correct function and display the result.

Step 1: Program setup

  • Print a welcome message.

  • Explain the available conversion types.

  • Prompt the user to choose a conversion type (e.g., Celsius to Fahrenheit).
