// This class converts temperature between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
// It may be used by assigning a value to either Celsius or Fahrenheit 
// and then retrieving the other value, or by calling the ToCelsius or
// ToFahrenheit methods directly.

class Temperature {
    Double celsius;
    Double fahrenheit;

    public Double getCelsius() {
        return celsius;
    }
    
    public void setCelsius(Double value) {
        celsius = value;
        fahrenheit = toFahrenheit(celsius);
    }

    public Double getFahrenheit() {
        return fahrenheit;
    }
    
    public void setFahrenheit(Double value) {
        fahrenheit = value;
        celsius = toCelsius(fahrenheit);
    }

    public Double toCelsius(Double fahrenheit) {
        return (fahrenheit - 32) * 5 / 9;
    }
    
    public Double toFahrenheit(Double celsius) {
        return celsius * 9 / 5 + 32;
    }
}

Output

temp1.celsius = 100.0
temp1.fahrenheit = 212.0

temp2.fahrenheit = 100.0
temp2.celsius = 37.77777777777778
