##Exercises: Variables

###The Fortune Teller

Why pay a fortune teller when you can just program your fortune yourself?

Store the following into variables: number of children, partner's name, geographic location, job title. Output your fortune to the screen like so: "You will be a X in Y, and married to Z with N kids."

###The Age Calculator

Forgot how old someone is? Calculate it!

Store the current year in a variable. Store their birth year in a variable. Calculate their 2 possible ages based on the stored values. Output them to the screen like so: "They are either NN or NN", substituting the values.

###The Lifetime Supply Calculator

Ever wonder how much a "lifetime supply" of your favorite snack is? Wonder no more!

Store your current age into a variable. Store a maximum age into a variable. Store an estimated amount per day (as a number). Calculate how many you would eat total for the rest of your life. Output the result to the screen like so: "You will need NN to last you until the ripe old age of X".

###The Geometrizer

Calculate properties of a circle, using the definitions here.

Store a radius into a variable. Calculate the circumference based on the radius, and output "The circumference is NN". Calculate the area based on the radius, and output "The area is NN".

###The Temperature Converter

It's hot out! Let's make a converter based on the steps here.

Store a celsius temperature into a variable. Convert it to fahrenheit and output "NN°C is NN°F". Now store a fahrenheit temperature into a variable. Convert it to celsius and output "NN°F is NN°C."
