Variable names for temperatures could be made consistent #1052

@edbennett

Description

@edbennett

Currently four conventions are used for variable names for temperatures in episode 08:

  • fahrenheit_val and celsius_val (with or without a suffix)
  • temp, with no qualification
  • temp_c, temp_f, and temp_k
  • temp_fahr and temp_kelvin

Is there a reason not to use a single, consistent way of spelling these?

(In particular, temp with no qualifier makes an assumption of Fahrenheit as the default, which is not true outside of North America; see my comment on #1000.)
