Convert from one temperature metric to another

This function allows you to convert a vector of temperature values between Fahrenheit, Celsius, and degrees Kelvin.

convert_temperature(temperature, old_metric, new_metric)

celsius.to.fahrenheit(T.celsius)

celsius.to.kelvin(T.celsius)

fahrenheit.to.celsius(T.fahrenheit)

fahrenheit.to.kelvin(T.fahrenheit)

kelvin.to.celsius(T.kelvin)

kelvin.to.fahrenheit(T.kelvin)

Arguments

temperature

A numeric vector of temperatures to be converted.

old_metric

The metric from which you want to convert. Possible options are:

  • fahrenheit, f

  • kelvin, k

  • celsius, c

new_metric

The metric to which you want to convert. The same options are possible as for old_metric.

T.kelvin, T.fahrenheit, T.celsius

Numeric vector of temperatures in Kelvin, Fahrenheit and Celsius.

Value

A numeric vector with temperature converted to the metric specified by the argument new_metric.

A numeric vector of temperature values in the new unit.
