Cpa Lab 2 1 5 (3) - B

The document describes writing a program to convert between metric and imperial measurement systems by asking the user to input their system and then a distance value, and outputting the equivalent value in the other system, with examples of expected input/output pairs given.

Lab 2.1.3 Some actual evaluations - converting measurement systems


Objectives
Familiarize the student with:

finding information useful to solving typical problems;


implementing a simple conversational interface;
constructing branched, multifunctional code;
preparing clearly formatted output.

Scenario
Among the many measurement systems available, two seem to be the most widespread: metric and imperial. To make things simpler, we
assume that the first one uses the "meter" as its only unit (expressed as a real number), while the second uses the "foot" (always an
integer) and the "inch" (a real number).

Your task is to write a simple "measurement converter". We want it to perform the following actions:

ask the user which system she/he uses to input data; we assume that 0 means "metric" and 1 means "imperial";
depending on the user's answer, ask either for meters or feet and inches;
output the distance in proper (different) units: either in feet and inches or in meters;
a result outputted as metric should look like 123.4m;
a result outputted as imperial should look like 12'3.5".

Look at the code below – it's only a template. Use it to implement the whole converter.

Make your code smart – it shouldn't be fooled by stupid or unreasonable inputs.

Test your code using the data we've provided.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(void) {
int sys;
float m, ft, in;

// Insert your code here

return 0;
}
