Question

Write a program that asks the user to enter a distance in meters. The program will then present

the following menu of selections:

1. Convert to kilometers

2. Convert to inches

3. Convert to feet

4. Quit the program

 

The program will convert the distance to kilometers, inches, or feet, depending on the user’s

selection. Here are the specific requirements:

 

• Write a double method named showKilometers, which accepts the number of meters as

an argument. The method should convert the meters to kilometers and returns the result.

Convert the meters to kilometers using the following formula:

kilometers = meters * 0.001

• Write a double method named showInches, which accepts the number of meters as an

argument. The method should convert the meters to inches and returns the result.

Convert the meters to inches using the following formula:

inches = meters * 39.37

• Write a double method named showFeet, which accepts the number of meters as an

argument. The method should convert the meters to feet and returns the result.

Convert the meters to feet using the following formula:

feet = meters * 3.281

• Write a void method named menu that displays the menu of selections. This method

should not accept any arguments.

 

• The program should accept the value returned from option 1, 2, and 3 and display it.

• The program should continue to display the menu until the user enters 4 to quit the

program.

• The program should not accept negative numbers for the distance in meters.

• If the user selects an invalid choice from the menu, the program should display an

error message.

 

Here is an example session with the program, using console input.

 

Enter a distance in meters: 500 [Enter]

1. Convert to kilometers

2. Convert to inches

3. Convert to feet

4. Quit the program

Enter your choice: 1 [Enter]

500 meters is 0.5 kilometers.

1. Convert to kilometers

2. Convert to inches

3. Convert to feet

4. Quit the program

Enter your choice: 3 [Enter]

500 meters is 1640.5 feet.

1. Convert to kilometers

2. Convert to inches

3. Convert to feet

4. Quit the program

Enter your choice: 4 [Enter]
