absolute zero

 [1/1] from: rchristiansen::pop::isdfa::sei-it::com at: 15-Dec-2000 17:32


In order to prove to my IRC buddies that -20F in Fargo, North Dakota, is NOT anywhere near absolute zero, I have updated my temperature conversion object to include Kelvin conversions, as follows:
>> convert-temp/F-K -20
== 244.261111111111 -20F = 244.26K REBOL [ Title: "Temperature Converter" Date: 15-Dec-2000 Version: 1.0.0 File: %convert-temp.r Author: "Ryan C. Christiansen" Email: [norsepower--uswest--net] Purpose: { Convert Temperatures to and from units in Fahrenheit, Celsius, or Kelvin. } Example: {
>> convert-temp/F-C 212
== 100 } ] convert-temp: make object! [ F-C: func [F] [C: ((F - 32) / 9) * 5] C-F: func [C] [F: ((C * 9) / 5) + 32] C-K: func [C] [K: C + 273.15] F-K: func [F] [K: (((F - 32) / 9) * 5) + 273.15] K-C: func [K] [C: K - 273.15] K-F: func [K] [F: (((K - 273.15) * 9) / 5) + 32] ]
