Temperature Converter

Inspiration

I had an idea to make a universal conversion website, one that could be used to convert several unit types, such as km to miles or grams to pounds. Since I was short on time, was by myself, and didn't have too much experience, I thought that a dumbed-down version that only converted temperature would still be a good project to test my skills.

What it does

This program converts Kelvins, Celsius, and Fahrenheit interchangeably.

How we built it

I used HTML and CSS to design the page and used JavaScript functions to calculate the temperature conversions, using Kelvin as a base so that I only need functions to convert to Kelvins and then functions to convert Kelvins to any unit desired.

Challenges we ran into

I had very little experience with JavaScript, so working with those functions proved very difficult. I also had to get the equations correct, which while not as much of a struggle was a major part of the process.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

This project was a great experience for me. I had to create it in a very limited timespan without any assistance. I am proud of the fact that I was able to pull it off, even if it wasn't a massive project.
