        return (celsiusTemperature * 9 / 5) + 32; 
    } 
 
    public static FahrenheitToCelsius( 
        fahrenheitTemperature: number 
    ) { 
        return (fahrenheitTemperature - 32) * 5 / 9; 
    } 
 
} 

As we can observe in the preceding code snippet, the TemperatureConverter class has two static methods named CelsiusToFahrenheit and FahrenheitToCelsius. We can invoke these methods without creating an instance of the TemperatureConverter class:
