Welcome back. Now, I'm going to work on this. Let's see, we're going to take in a temperature in Fahrenheit, so I'll call it tempF. Do some calculation. I like to just work on stuff a little bit at a time. So for now, I'm not going to do the full calculation. I'm just going to create a tempC variable here, and when we're printing it out, I'll add a plus and tempC to print it out. Running a bit at a time helps you catch bugs faster when they happen, as opposed to writing a whole bunch and then maybe being overwhelmed because you're not sure what's going wrong. So temp F, 32, print out temp in C is 32. So great, no errors, the result is wrong though. So let's fill it in now. And just…
