Backend Challenge - Temperature Converter API

Introduction

Build a web service to convert temperatures between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.

This challenge is tech-agnostic. Choose your preferred programming language and framework. For beginner level, no database required.

Objectives

• Handle different conversion types
• Perform mathematical conversions accurately

Instructions

1. Environment Setup:

   • Programming language and web framework

2. Implementation Details:

   • Create a GET endpoint at /convert that accepts value, from, and to parameters (e.g., from=celsius, to=fahrenheit)

3. Testing:

   • Test with: GET /convert?value=32&from=fahrenheit&to=celsius

Possible Improvements

• Add validation for valid temperature ranges
• Support more units

Conclusion

By completing this challenge, you will learn to implement conversion logic in APIs.

Happy coding!
