        double celsius;

        fahrenheit = input.nextDouble();
        
        return fahrenheit;
    }

    private static double calculateCelsius(double fahrenheit) {
        double celsius;
        
        celsius = (fahrenheit - 32) * 5 / 9;
        
        return celsius;
    }

    private static void displayResult(double fahrenheit, double celsius) {
        System.out.println(fahrenheit + "° Fahrenheit is " + 
            celsius + "° Celsius");
    }
}

Output

Enter Fahrenheit temperature:
 100
100° Fahrenheit is 37.7777777777778° Celsius
