Celsius To Fahrenheit Solver in Bash

This is another conversion of temperature that I wrote using Bash script. In my previous article I wrote a program that will ask the user to enter the temperature in Fahrenheit and then it will convert to its Celsius temperature equivalent. By this time it another way around from Celsius it will convert to its Fahrenheit value.

Take note in my sample bash program I always adding some functionalities like asking the user if the user wants again to run the program so that it can give a different value and then give us the different converted values. It makes our bash script more versatile in many ways. I hope you will find my sample bash script programs more useful in your learning how to program in bash in UNIX, MAC OS and Linux environment.

If you have some questions please send me an email at jakerpomperada@yahoo.com and jakerpomperada@gmail.com.

Thank you very much.
