Temperature Conversion

Write a program that converts degrees from Fahrenheit to Celsius, using the formula DegreesC = 5 (DegreesF − 32) / 9. Prompt the user to enter a temperature in degrees Fahrenheit as a whole number without a fractional part. Then have the program display the equivalent Celsius temperature, including the fractional part to at least one decimal point.

     double c = 0;
     double f =0;
     System.out.println("Enter degrees in Fahrenheit: ");
     f = input.nextInt(); 

     c = (f-32)/9;

     System.out.printf("The temperature in Celsius is: %.2f",c);
