Kelvin to Fahrenheit - Apache - 05-29-2010

My first python script that I wrote entirely on my own. Celsius to Fahrenheit, and Fahrenheit to Celsius have been done a billion times, so I tried to be a bit more creative.

Code:
print "Kelvin to Fahrenheit Converter by Bradley\n\n"

Kelvin = float(raw_input("Enter Kelvin:  "))

Celsius = Kelvin - 273.15

Fahrenheit = Celsius * 1.8 + 32

print

print Fahrenheit

raw_input("")

So, the sun is roughly 5,000 degrees kelvin. Exactly 8.540.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
The average temperature where I live right now is around ~303 Kelvin.

I checked the program with an online converter and it was exact.

Nice for your first code, some minor adjustments can be made though. First,

Code:
print "Kelvin to Fahrenheit Converter by Bradley"

print

print

Code:
print "Kelvin to Fahrenheit Converter by Bradley\n\n"

All the empty prints can be substituted with a \n.
Next:

Code:
Kelvin = int(raw_input("Enter Kelvin:  "))

It is best to use floats rather than ints for better accuracy:

Code:
Kelvin = float(raw_input("Enter Kelvin:  "))

Thanks, I'll make note Smile

Looks nice, you should make it 273.15 for more accuracy.
