Question

Shirlee is working with a measurement tool that reports measurements in centimeters. Since Shirlee is unfamiliar with centimeters, she would like her centimeter measurements to be converted into yards, feet, and inches. She would also like the result to be properly rounded to the nearest inch. As an example, if the measurement is 312 centimeters, this should be converted to 3 yards, 1 foot, and 3 inches.

1. Identify the inputs and outputs of the problem.


2. Identify the processing needed to convert the inputs to the outputs. HINT: Convert centimeters to total number of inches first! (1 inch = 2.54 cm)


3. Design an algorithm in pseudocode to solve the problem. Make sure to include steps to get each input and to report each output.


4. Identify two test cases other than the example given above. For each of the two test cases show what inputs you will use and calculate what your expected outputs should be.



5. Write the program to implement your algorithm.

Explanation / Answer

1)input to the system is distance or some other measurement. 2)output of the system is in centimeters. 3)converting centimeters to inches as 1 inch=2.54cm therefore 312 centimaters=122.8inches.
