    Default What is wrong with my code?

    I'm trying to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius but there are errors but I don't know where is the mistakes.
    The error is the part that I had bold it.

    public class CelsiusConverterApp {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

    double Fahrenheit = 98.6;

    //calculate Fahenheit to celsius
    double Celsius = (5.0/9) * (Fahrenheit – 32.0) ;


    System.out.println("Fahrenheit " + Fahrenheit + "is" + Celsius + "in Celsius");


    }
    }

    While writing the "-" operator did u use the one on the numpad or the other one near the "0" ?
    Because, when i wrote the program in eclipse,it ran perfectly well.

    Yes, Karthik Prabhu is right.

    Try this code:

       public class CelsiusConverterApp {
     
          public static void main(String[] args) {
     
             double Fahrenheit = 98.6;
     
          //calculate Fahenheit to celsius
             double Celsius = (5.0/9) * (Fahrenheit - 32.0) ;
     
     
             System.out.println("Fahrenheit " + Fahrenheit + " is" + Celsius + " in Celsius");
     
     
          }
       }

    I also added spaces so it looks nicer. And it compiles.
