Exercise 4: Functions

The exercise for this week is meant to help you to understand how to create and use functions in Python. You will create a simple tool that converts temperatures from one kind of temperature scale to another and then classify those temperatures into specific temperature classes.

• Exercise 4 is due by the start of the next lesson (Wednesday, 2 Sepmtember 2019 at 9 am)
• Scores on this exercise are out of 20 points.
