    Did you test those methods as I suggested? Did they return the correct results?

    Where should those methods go in the printf() statement in the code you posted in post#19?

    You need to test those methods so you know how to use them before trying to put them into the EX5_8 program.

    Test calling the two methods and nothing else. No loop and no printf.
    Call each method with a known value that returns a known value: 212 and 100
    to make sure the methods work correctly.

    Why do all the statements start in the first column? What happened to the indentation like in post#19

    Methods can NOT be defined inside other methods. Make sure there are no methods inside of any other methods.
    Each method as a { at the start and a } at the end. There should NOT be any method defined between the { and the }.


    The poor formatting of the code in post #29 makes it hard to see where the methods are defined.

    You need to study how to write methods and where to put them in the code. This is a very basic concept.
    Do not define a method within the {}s that enclose another method's statements.

    Start writing a new class and leave this one for now.
    Define a main() method in the new class.
    Add a call to the println() method to the main() method
    Compile and execute that new code.
    Copy and paste that new class here.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Your question is asking convert Celsius from 40 to 30 and Fahrenheit from 120 to 30, right???

    You need to use a for loop for your answer, call the method, get result, add it to string for the display then decrement Celsius by 1 and Fahrenheit by 10,
    after ending the loop display the output.

    to use a method call it from the main, and put outside the main, like the following:
    public class EX5_8{
    	public static void main(String args[]){
    			//statements
     
    	}//end of main
     
    	public static double mehtod(double a){
    		//statments
            }
    }

    Thanks Bahoom, but what statements would I use for the main methods now please ?
    find below is my code...
    <public class EX5_8{
    	public static void main(String args[]){
    	}
    		public static double celsiusToFahrenheit(double celsius){
    			get celsius=(5.0/9.0) * fahrenheit - 32+14.22;
    			}
    			public static double fahrenheitToCelsius(double fahrenheit){
    				get fahrenheit=(9.0/5.0) * fahrenheit + 32;
    				}
    			System.out.println("|Celsius |Fahrenheit||Celsius|Fahrenheit| \n");
    			double i=40;
    			double j=120;
    			do{
    				System.out.printf(" %3.1f|%11.1f |  %3.1f     |   %8.2f |  \n",i,(i*(9.0/5)+32),j,(j*(5.0/9)-32+14.22));
    				i-=1;
    				j-=10;
    		    }while(i>=31 && j>=30);
    	}

    Have you tested either of the methods by calling them with a single value and printing out the value that is returned to check that the method works as desired?
    Use a simple method that calls the method, no loop.

    The statements in the code in post #37 needs to be formatted properly. The indentations are not right and that makes the code hard to read and understand.

    Do it one step at a time.
    Create a class and add one main method. No other methods.
    Add a call to the println method in the main() method that prints a simple message.
    compile and execute that. Post the code for it here.

    When that works, we'll move to the next step.
