TypeError: Can't convert 'float' object to str implicitly

Solution

  • floats can't be implicitly converted into strings. You need to do it explicitly.

    print("The value from Fahrenheit to Celsius is " + str(celsius))
    

    But it's better to use format.

    print("The value from Fahrenheit to Celsius is {0}".format(celsius))
