CS 140 - Homework 1

Write a Python program that calculates the wind chill temperature W given the current temperature t and the wind velocity v. The current temperature and the wind velocity should be entered by the user. The formula the National Weather Service uses to calculate wind chill is:

\[ W=35.74 + 0.6215t + (0.4275t - 35.75)v^0.16 \]

Here is an example interaction with wind chill program. Note that the answer is printed rounded to one decimal place (don't worry about printing to one decimal place for now, we haven't covered it yet).

   Enter temperture (F): 32
   Enter wind velocity (MPH): 10
   
   The wind chill for 32.0 degrees with a 
   wind velocity of 10.0 MPH is 23.7 degrees.

• Place the file windchill.py in a folder named hw1 in your cs140 folder.
• Turn in a printout of your program at the beginning of class. Please print it in advance. Don't rely on the printer in the classroom.
