I took a pic of our outdoor thermometer this morning at 5:30 AM, just to verify the 5th run (in red) of budding tiny-c programmer Max's first real application in this programming language. It's probably not obvious when you look at the code below, but a tremendous amount of effort went into this and, if you ask me, this star-generating machine is just about due to get one from me.

Purdy cool (pun intended).

I agree with you, DeeDee. It is very "cool." We got down to -4 here in Marborrow this morning!
I wanted to share my second new tiny-c program (which converts F degrees to C degrees) with everyone. It's cool too and TcT gave me some hints to write it.
I can now say it works! Here is what it looks like after making it look pretty. It is for a calculation on my Marborrow temp of -4 today.
It was -15 here in Portland this morning. What is that in Celsius?
Looking at the thermometer in hi-resolution (by clicking it) I'd put it at -26 C. Doing the math, using Max's formula, (5*(-15)-160)/9 = -235/9 = -(26 1/9) = approx. -26.11.
Basically, very very cold!
And if that isn't accurate enough for you, a special version of an F to C converter in tiny-c gives ...
F -> C (type F) or C -> F (type C) f
Enter F (e.g. 73, 0) : -15
C is -26.111111111111111111111111111

Hey, I just heard something about Montpelier being -25 F.
It was -31 F where my mom lives in northern Maine last night!
