What is it you are trying to achieve?
<Replace all the <> with your answers/code and remove the <>>
I am making a thermometer that changes temperature from fahrenheit to celcius and displays it.
What is the problem you are having?
<Answer Here>
I am not done yet, but as you can see I am individually programming each number, and one of my friends told me that the program could be made more efficent by using arrays or somthing.
1.So first of all im not sure if it can be made more efficently
2. If it can, what do you use to make it more efficent, and how can I apply it to the program
(by efficent I mean use less lines, and not having to program each individual number
Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
<Answer Here>
I really have no idea where to start 
Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)

This is my program:
procedure drawrectangle
%screen formatting
setscreen ("graphics:800;400")
%orange button
var number : int
var rangeX, rangeY, button : int
cls
drawfillbox (200, 50, 250, 100, 42)
%keyboard input
put "Enter your temperature in farenheit from -4 to 68"
get number
put "Your temperature in celcius is:", (5 / 9) * (number - 32);
put "Click on the orange box to repeat"
%Mouse input
loop
mousewhere (rangeX, rangeY, button )
if (rangeX >= 200 and rangeX <= 250) and (rangeY >= 50 and rangeY <= 100) and button = 1 then
drawrectangle
else
end if
%Red box

There isn't anything arays will do for you here. However, for loops would help tremendously.
Read: http://compsci.ca/v3/viewtopic.php?t=3678
One you have, the majority of your code would turn into something similar to
| code: |
for x : 50 .. 100
for i : 41 .. 68
if number = i then
drawfillbox(20, 40, 70, ((i - 41) * 5) + x, 12)
end if
end for
end for
