NTC thermistor temperature monitering

Hello I am very green when it comes to programming and need some help. I am trying to write a program so that a voltage divider is created by a thermistor and a resistor and that value is sent into my PIC16F690. I wanted to just calculate the value but the equation requires using ln. so my plan now is to make a lookup table but I'm lost. Then after I want to convert the number to BCD and output it to 7 segment decoders and displayed it on 2 7 segment displays. Then I want take in from two input on a count up and one a count down, then compare the measured value to the counter value and output on one of three outputs more than 2 less than, equal to and more than 2 greater than (which I haven't even gotten to yet). I might be doing most or all of this completely wrong any help would be greatly appreciated. Also i only need it to work for values 0-39 in BCD to save outputs on the chip. As you will notice a lot is cut and paste.
Thank you Anthony

first i notice "TRISA = 011111" you should use all 8 so "TRISA = 00011111"

also your using 8 bit processors that dont use floating point math, so all those ya = 0.0000203123 numbers, your going to have to convert to whole numbers and the max is going to be somewhere near 65353 as a max number, all math cannot excede this numberso you cant do a 35000 + 35000, wont work
go ahead and set your adbits to 10, when you get to the read/store use something like this
ADCIN 0, Res1 ' Read Channel 0 data
res1 = res1 / 64 ' 0-1024 (/256 = 0-255) etc...
Ive got to do this too, i need to use a NTC for a temp guage, I'm sure i can do it with about 5 lines of code, so you should be able to clean this up a bit.
try to get your math down, it looks way to complicated.

A bit easier is the MCP9700A.
It's linear and runs about 34 cents.

great idea, I didnt know about that chip, just order a bunch.
