 *  Compilation:  javac WindChill.java
 *  Execution:    java WindChill T V
 *  
 *  Given the temperature T (in Fahrenheit) and the wind speed V
 *  (in miles per hour), compute the wind chill W using the formula
 *  from the National Weather Service
 *
 *     W = 35.74 + 0.6215*T + (0.4275*T - 35.75)  *  V ^ 0.16
