	Temperature scales
		Reaumur divided the fundamental interval between the ice and steam points of water into 80 degrees, fixing the ice point at 0 Degrees and the steam point at 80 degrees.
		Rene Reaumur also made important discoveries in the fabrication of steel from iron, carried out experiments on the artificial incubation of eggs, and was an authority on the natural history of insects and the manufacture of tin ware.
		Rene Antoine Ferchault de Reaumur is an instance, among many, of those persons who, having devoted the greater part of their life's to scientific investigations, become known to posterity for only one, and that often a very subordinate achievement.

	History of Regeneration Research
		Reaumur appears to be the first scientist to perform a serious study of regeneration.
		Reaumur not only studied regeneration but also invented the alcohol thermometer and developed a formula for the production of steel.
		The Swiss scientist, Abraham Trembley, was influenced by Reaumur and began studying the freshwater polyp (now known as hydra) in the 1740s.

		In this he demonstrated, as Rene Reaumur had attempted to demonstrate, that digestion could be carried on outside the walls of the stomach as an ordinary chemical reaction, using the gastric juice as the reagent for performing the experiment.
		Reaumur had demonstrated conclusively that digestion would take place in the stomach in the same manner and the same time if the substance to be digested was protected from the peristalic movements of the stomach and subjected to the action of the gastric juice only.
		He did this by introducing the substances to be digested into the stomach in tubes, and thus protected so that while the juices of the stomach could act upon them freely they would not be affected by any movements of the organ.

		For this task, a science historian is translating some of Reaumur’s steel experiments, and you will write a program to convert temperatures from Reaumur to Fahrenheit using the following formula:
		The program will prompt the user to enter a Reaumur temperature, and read it.
		The program will convert the Reaumur temperature to Fahrenheit and print the result with the appropriate unit label, like this:
