const intsensorPin = A0;  // TMP36 connected to Analog Input 0
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
  int sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);
  float temperature = (sensorValue  5.0 / 1023.0 - 0.5)  100.0;
  Serial.print("Temperature: ");
  Serial.print(temperature);
  Serial.println(" C");
  delay(1000);
}
