Fahrenheit To Celsius Solver in Bash

In this article I would like to share with you a sample program that I wrote using BASH scripting language or Bourne Again Shell in Linux operating system I called this program Fahrenheit To Celsius Solver in Bash. What the program will do when the user run the script using ./fah.sh or bash fah.sh it will ask the user to enter the temperature in Fahrenheit and the program will convert it to its Celsius equivalent.

The script is very short and very easy to understand a good way to automate some math problems using Bash as our programming language under the Linux environment. If you have some questions please send me an email at jakerpomperada@yahoo.com and jakerpomperada@gmail.com.

Thank you very much.
