Trouble getting C to toggle back from F to C in Weather App

Code Feedback
1

I have the temperature toggling to F from C when the user clicks on the C, however it won’t toggle back when the user clicks on the F. Here is a link to my Code Pen: https://codepen.io/sanskrtapanditah/pen/qozxOG

Here is my code for that section:

$(".scale").on("click", function() {
  if (tempInCelsius) {
    $(".temperature").html(tempInFahrenheit + tempFormat);
    $(".scale").html("F");
  } else {
    $(".temperature").html(tempInCelsius + tempFormat);
    $(".scale").html("C");
  }
});

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Have a look at your if statement. tempInCelsius is just a number so it will always return true (unless it is 0), so you always show the temperature in Fahrenheit.

You could add a variable showTempInCelsius which you initially set to true and then do something like this:

$(".scale").on("click", function() {
  if (showTempInCelsius) {
    $(".temperature").html(tempInFahrenheit + tempFormat);
    $(".scale").html("F");
  } else {
    $(".temperature").html(tempInCelsius + tempFormat);
    $(".scale").html("C");
  }

  showTempInCelsius = !showTempInCelsius;
});

It worked after I made those changes. Thank you!
