:: As an aside, I choose to not check (in the REXX example) for those kinds of errors(?) (negative kelvins) as it detracts from the conversion part of the process. However, the presence of negative kelvins isn't for a fact, an error --- well, maybe yes, maybe no, could be, or might not be. The more error checking that is done, the more "clutter" or chaff in the program. In a complete working example, yes, that error check and others would be proper; ya can never to too carefull when accepting data from the command line (C.L.) or via passed arguments/parameters. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 21:44, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
:: Also, there appears (as I understand it) an upper bound to temperatures, probably 1 (one) Planck. Of what little I know(?) about that temperature is, at 1 Planck, the laws of physics (or some of them?) seem to (start) breaking down. 1 Planck = 1.416833e+32 kelvins. If that can of worms is opened, I fear for us, the hoi polloi programmers (and amateur/wanna-be/armchair scientists/physicists). -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 22:23, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
