Distance Calculation in Java

The distance between two cities (in km.) is input through the keyboard. Write a program to convert and print this distance in meters, feet, inches and centimeters.

The program starts by importing the java.util.Scanner package, which allows the user to input data into the program.
Then, it declares five variables of float data type - m (meters), km (kilometers), cm (centimeters), i (inches), and ft (feet).
The program then prompts the user to enter the distance in kilometers by displaying the message "Enter the Kilometer :". It takes the input using the Scanner object and stores it in the km variable.
Next, the program calculates the m value by multiplying the km value with 1000 (since 1 kilometer = 1000 meters).
The program then calculates the cm value by multiplying the m value with 100 (since 1 meter = 100 centimeters).
Next, the program calculates the i value by dividing the cm value by 2.54 (since 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters).
Finally, the program calculates the ft value by dividing the i value by 12 (since 1 foot = 12 inches).

Overall, this program is a basic example of how Java can be used to perform simple unit conversions and input/output operations.

Source Code

import java.util.Scanner;
class Distance
{
	public static void main(String arga[])
	{
		float m,km,cm,i,ft;
		Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
		System.out.println("Enter the Kilometer :");
		km = input.nextFloat();
		m = km*1000;
		cm = m*100;
		i = cm/2.54f;
		ft = i/12;
		System.out.println("Kilometer : "+km);
		System.out.println("Meters : "+m);
		System.out.println("Centimeters : "+cm);
		System.out.println("Inches : "+i);
		System.out.println("Feet : "+ft);
	}
}

Output

Enter the Kilometer :
23.4
Kilometer : 23.4
Meters : 23400.0
Centimeters : 2340000.0
Inches : 921259.9
Feet : 76771.66
