The reason for multiplying by 5 and then dividing by 9 instead of just multiplying by 5/9 is that in C，as in many other languages,integer division truncates: any fractional part is discarded.

Printf is a general-purpose output formatting function, and it is just a useful function from the standard library of functions that are normally accessible to C programs.

　　

In C Sharp，double cannot implicitly be converted to float.

The printf conversion specification %3.0f says that a floating-point number is to be printed at least three
characters wide, with no decimal point and no fraction digits.
