Mobile App Dev 2021W: Tutorial 1

This tutorial is still being developed.

In this tutorial you will extend and study a simple app for temperature conversion.

Getting Started

First, you should configure your Xcode environment and make sure you can successfully run an automatically generated hello world program. Once that all works, move on to the exercises below.

Download Converter-1

Download Converter-1.zip and unpack it in your code directory. Open the project in Xcode. It should look similar to the hello world program you created previously, except this one has a bit more code. When you refresh the preview, it should look like the following:

Converter-1 in Xcode

Make sure you can run the project in the simulator.

Tasks

For each task, explain what you did to accomplish the task or explain your attempts at an answer. Be sure to include references (links) to any resources that you used for each question, as well as the names of any collaborators. Be sure to use this template.

1. Change the format of the output Celsius to have two fixed decimal places rather than have a general format with four significant digits.
2. Add a line below the Celsius conversion that gives the temperature in Kelvin.
3. Make the temperatures bold only (the rest of the text should be as it was). It is okay if there is extra spacing between the words and numbers.
