Write a program to display the temperature in Norway The temperature in Spain is approximately 5 degrees hotter than here. Write a program to display the temperature in Spain The temperature in Death Valley, California is approximately twice the temperature here. Write a program to display the temperature in Death Valley Write a program using if statements so that if the temperature is above 25 then it says ‘It is warm’, else it says ‘It is not hot’ Write a program using if statements so that if the temperature is above 25 then it says ‘It is hot’, if it is below 10 it says ‘It is cold’, else it says ‘It is warm’
