Because when you enclose text within quotes it's considered a string literal, where the compiler uses the exact text put in quotes. So your first celsius on line 12 is not a string literal and is referring to the value of the double called celsius (which you initialised on line 8), while the second one is just representing the exact text "celsius". Hope that helps.

Ah, your profile avatar contains a permutation of my username. I feel perturbed. -_-

Did you see the pun?

thanks
i note that you are doing computer science at ucl i want to know more about the course.

Is it good to learn stuff like hobbyist electronics?

I'm just starting there in a few weeks, so I don't know any more than is put on the website. As for hobbyist electronics, it might come in handy for personal projects but you kinda just pick up what you need to use.

My teacher says to be prepared for the controlled assessment i have to practice booking systems on app inventore has anyone got any ideas how i go about that?

What maths component has anyone struggled with?

Is anyone doing OCR for a level computer science? Im struggling with the theory aspects as the book is absolutely shocking and does not follow the specification. Any tips? ( Currently in year 12)

I am doing OCR A2 Computing, still running off the old specification for this year.
I don't think any good revision materials have been made yet for the OCR Computer Science A level, but these are the ones I used in the previous years. Be sure to check that these are the right ones for the new course though (the guides in this series helped me to get 100/100 in F451 ):

Yeah there are like no resources for the new course, here is the link to the new course: http://www.ocr.org.uk/Images/170844-specification-accredited-a-level-gce-computer-science-h446.pdf
how similar is it to the old course? I rely on resources alot and the book is just so bad

The course has changed quite a bit, I did two 1.5 hour papers last year and have to do a 2 hour paper this year.

These are my findings when reading through the spec:You could compare this new spec with the old spec to find example exam style questions for you to answer. Other topics like Djikstra's algorithm you could look at A level maths papers for or through online tutorials, as this is just a standard algorithm. Having a look at the old GCSE papers may help too.

Hope this helps, and that you do well in the course. For theory elements in the exam, I just learned the answers by heart as the answers to questions rarely changed each year, but I realise that would be difficult to to for a new spec
