write a program that will converts a temperature from degrees fahrenhiet to degrees celcius the formula for converting the temperature from degrees fahrenhiet to degrees celcius is c= (5/9)*(F-32)
display both degrees fahrenhiet and degrees celcius.
i dont know what is the problem.
here is my code does not function
import java.util.*;
public class convert {
    static Scanner console = new console(Sytem.in);
    public static void main(String[] args); {
  
    float celsius;
    float fahrenheit;
  
    
     System.out.println("Enter  temperature.");
     celsius = console.nextDouble((5/9)*(fahrenheit-32));
     System.out.println("fahrenheit + "degrees Fahrenheit" * celsius + "degrees Celsius.");
    
}
}

		  System.out.println("fahrenheit + "degrees Fahrenheit" * celsius + "degrees Celsius.");
	 }//end of main
}//end of class

Its

Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);

not

static Scanner console = new console(System.in);

/type /name = new /type;

Okay, first off, I'd use double instead of float. Also, you should try this:
System.out.println("Enter temperature in fahrenheit");
fahrenheit = console.nextDouble;
celcius = (celcuis*(5/9))*(fahrenheit-32);

instead of
System.out.println("Enter temperature.");
celsius = console.nextDouble((5/9)*(fahrenheit-32));

also, your s.o.p. line is wrong. It should look like this:
System.out.println("fahrenheit + " degrees Fahrenheit equals to " + celsius + "degrees Celsius.");

Also, I thought degree consersion from fahrenheit to celsius was: multiply by 5 over nine, and then subract 32
Or is my memory bad?
