# The Temperature

> **[INCOMING — Mission Control, Earth]**
>
> Cadet, half the world reads temperature in Fahrenheit, the other
> half in Celsius. Build a converter.
>
> Formula: `C = (F - 32) * 5 / 9`
>
> Implement `f_to_c(f)` that returns a string of the form:
>
> ```
> <F>°F = <C>°C
> ```
>
> Where `<C>` is rounded to one decimal place using `:.1f`. Convert
> the input with `float()` first so the output is consistent for
> int and float inputs.
>
> Examples:
>
> - `f_to_c(32)` → `"32.0°F = 0.0°C"`
> - `f_to_c(212)` → `"212.0°F = 100.0°C"`
> - `f_to_c(98.6)` → `"98.6°F = 37.0°C"`

## Your Task

In `starter/starter.py`, convert `f` to float, compute Celsius,
return the formatted string.

## Objectives

- All three examples produce the exact expected string
- Works for any numeric F input
