Let’s assume that someone needs to quickly calculate some conversions of units of measurement and print out a chart

            We need to convert:

                                                Feet to inches

                                                Yards to inches

                                                Meters to centimeters

                                                Kilometers to decameters

                                                Gallons to pints

                                                Pounds to ounces

You will ask six different questions for the person to enter each of the units.

 

Have a prompt (state the question asking for input of some number.. use cout… followed by the input using the cin statement)

            cout<<”Please enter the amount of feet.”;

     cin>> feet;

          inch=feet*12;

 

After all six questions and cin statements, calculate the values for inches, centimeters, decameters, pints and ounces.

 

Use these identifiers {feet, inchf, inchy, yard, meter cent, kilo, deca, gallon, pint, pounds, and ounce}.  All will be int’s except meter and centimeter (use float for these two).  Notice we have two inches, one is for feet (inchf) and one is for yards (inchy).

 

Have a title, see below that is defined before void main.

        #include <iostream.h>

   #define TITLE “Measurement conversion table”

 void main( )

 {

     cout<<TITLE;

 

After all of this is done, print out the results exactly like the one below. Have the heading of the chart set in a #define. (Don’t worry about spacing of the 2^nd column)

 

 Measurement Conversion Table

 

(input value)……………..(converted value)

Feet:8                                  Inches: 96

Yards:5                             Inches: 180

Meters: 2.5                       Centimeters: 250

Kilometers: 4                      Decameters: 400

Gallons: 7                         Pints: 56

Pounds: 25                       Ounces: 400
