Temperature Converter

You are developing a temperature converter for a weather app. Given a sorted list of temperature values in Celsius and a target temperature in Fahrenheit, your task is to find the closest Celsius temperature to the target Fahrenheit temperature. The conversion formula is: F = C * 9/5 + 32. Your program should read the list of Celsius values and the target Fahrenheit value, and print the closest Celsius temperature. Input Format: - The first line contains an integer n (1 <= n <= 100,000) indicating the number of Celsius temperatures. - The next n lines each contain one Celsius temperature. - The final line contains the target Fahrenheit temperature. Output Format: - Print the closest Celsius temperature rounded to the nearest integer. Example: Input: 5 0 25 50 75 100 79 Output: 26
