def get_fahrenheit():
    print("Enter Fahrenheit temperature:")
    fahrenheit = float(input())
    return fahrenheit


def calculate_celsius(fahrenheit):
    celsius = (fahrenheit - 32) * 5 / 9
    return celsius


def display_result(fahrenheit, celsius):
    print(str(fahrenheit) + "° Fahrenheit is " + 
        str(celsius) + "° Celsius")


def main():
    fahrenheit = get_fahrenheit()
    celsius = calculate_celsius(fahrenheit)
    display_result(fahrenheit, celsius)

Output

Enter Fahrenheit temperature:

100.0° Fahrenheit is 37.77777777777778° Celsius
