// Prompt the user to choose: 1) Centigrade to Fahrenheit, 2) Fahrenheit to
// centigrade. Prompt the user for temp to convert. Calculate new temp2. The
// calculation of the new temp2 depends on choice 1 or 2 above. Print out temp2.
// Be sure to use the C and F temp notation.  (Hint: use decimal data types)

#include <iomanip>   //Set precision for decimal points
#include <iostream>  //For cout, cin libraries
int main() {
  int temp1;         // Initialize temperature
  int response = 0;  // Initialize option for conversion

  std::cout
      << "Please enter 1 to convert Centigrade to Fahrenheit or 2 to convert "
         "Fahrenheit to centigrade: ";  // Prompt user to choose Fahrenheit or
                                        // Fahrenheit to centigrade
  std::cin >> response;  // Stores input into response

  std::cout
      << "Please enter temperature you want to convert: ";  // Prompt user to
                                                            // choose Fahrenheit
                                                            // or Fahrenheit to
                                                            // centigrade
  std::cin >> temp1;  // Store first integer

  if (response == 1) {
    temp1 = (temp1 * 9 / 5.0) + 32;
    std::cout << std::setprecision(2) << temp1 << "F" << std::endl;

  } else {
    std::cout << float((temp1 - 32) * 5 / 9) << "C" << std::endl;
  }
}

//Hello, the calculation seems to be right, but I'm having a little issue with outputting a number with decimal points. I've tried using setprecision from the <<iomanip>> library as well as float, what am I doing wrong?
