# Unit Converter (C)
This is a command-line program written in C that allows you to convert between different types of physical units: temperature, distance, pressure, weight, and volume. It is a simple and educational tool that demonstrates the use of control structures, functions, and input validation in C.
## Compilation
You can compile the program using `gcc`:
```c
gcc conversor.c -o conversor
```
## Usage
After compiling, run the program from your terminal:
```c
./conversor
```
An interactive menu like this will appear:
After choosing the type of conversion, a submenu will appear with the available conversion options. For example, for temperature:
The program will ask you for a value to convert and will display the result.
## Features
- Temperature conversion: ºC ↔ ºF
- Distance conversion: km ↔ miles, m ↔ ft
- Pressure conversion: Pa ↔ atm
- Weight conversion: kg ↔ lb
- Volume conversion: L ↔ gal
- Conversion loop: repeat as many times as the user wants
- Input validation: handles invalid numbers and menu options gracefully
