Hi, I am a beginner in programming and for this assignment (for an online class) I cannot seem to figure out how to fix/what I am doing wrong and since its an online class I really cant ask for help.Please help! So in my code I would like the user to enter a scale either 'c' or 'f'....now if you enter anything else it catches the error but then still proceeds! also, when rounding the calculated conversion...i am not getting a rounded answer only **.00 the asterisks being any numeral. here is my code:

package temperatureconversion;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;

public class TemperatureConversion {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
       
        System.out.println("\t\t\tHello " + System.getProperty("user.name") + "!");
        String os = System.getProperty("os.name");
        String version = System.getProperty("os.version");
        System.out.println("\tI currently am running "+os+", version "+version);
                
        boolean correctScale = true;
        Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
        int tempPicked;
        
        System.out.println("Enter a temperature scale: 'F' for fahrenheit or 'C' for celsius)");
        String scaleType = keyboard.nextLine();
        scaleType = scaleType.toUpperCase();
        char answerScale  = scaleType.charAt(0);
       
        do
        {
           if (answerScale != 'F' && answerScale != 'f' && answerScale != 'C' && answerScale != 'c')
            System.out.println("Error: Scale not found please enter 'F' for Fahrenheit or 'C' for Celsius");
           else
             System.out.println("You have choosen the '" + answerScale + "' scale."); 
         
         System.out.println("Please enter a temperature (whole integer,no fractions)");
            tempPicked = keyboard.nextInt();

            {

                   break;
