| Hi I'm very much a beginner with Python.
| I want to write a function to convert celcius to fahrenheit like this
| one:
|
| def celciusToFahrenheit(tc):
|    tf = (9/5)*tc+32
|    return tf

Unless you are importing 'integer division' or using 3.0, that should be 
9.0/5.0.

| I want the answer correct to one decimal place, so
| celciusToFahrenheit(12) would return 53.6.

As written, running above on 2.x returns 44.
