OBJECTIVE:

This assignment is designed to give you practice using call-by-reference paramater passing and writing programs with user-defined functions.

---

THE ASSIGNMENT:

Your assignment is to write a program that converts metric length (meters, centimeters) input by the user to English units (feet, inches).

To do this you will need to write three functions, you MUST use parameters as shown:

1.  //explains program to user and directs them to enter appropriate values.
      void input(double& meters);


2.  //makes converson from metric to English units
      void convert(int& feet, double& inches, double meters);

    //it will make use of the following global constants
       const double METERS_PER_FOOT = 0.3048;
       const double INCHES_PER_FOOT = 12.0;

3.  //handles the output as shown in the sample script below
     void output(int feet, double inches, double meters);

---

INPUT AND OUTPUT:

The program must prompt the user to input a number of meters as a real number.

The program must convert the input to English units and report the value to the user.

After the results are reported the program must ask the user if they would like to continue and either repeat or exit, depending on the user's choice.

How it should look when you run the program:

mmartin@cs.csustan.edu:(~/cs1500/solo4) g++ solo4.cpp
mmartin@cs.csustan.edu:(~/cs1500/solo4) a.out

Enter a number of meters as a double
22

The value of meters, centimeters 22.00 meters converted to English measure is 72 feet, 2.14 inches

Y or y continues, any other character quits
y

Enter a number of meters as a double
45

The value of meters, centimeters 45.00 meters converted to English measure is 147 feet, 7.65 inches

Y or y continues, any other character quits
q

WHAT TO TURN IN:

Here is the list of things you have to turn in:

• At the start of class on the due date place the following item on the "counter" in front of me:
  
  
  • a hardcopy (printed listing) of your program (the C++ source code). Make sure all the code is properly formatted and that it all shows on the paper.
    
    
• Before midnight on the the due date upload the following to the Homework Submission System:
  
  
  • A copy of the source code (C++ code) (be sure your name is in the comment section at the beginning of the program), named sprog4.cpp
    
    
  • and a (filtered) script showing a test run of the program, named sprog4.script
