Description

This function allows you to convert a vector of temperature values between Fahrenheit, Celsius, and degrees Kelvin.

Usage

convert_temperature(temperature, old_metric, new_metric, round = 2)

Arguments

temperature	A numeric vector of temperatures to be converted.
old_metric	The metric from which you want to convert. Possible options are: fahrenheit, f kelvin, k celsius, c
new_metric	The metric to which you want to convert. The same options are possible as for old_metric.
