C++ Exercises: Enter length in centimeter and convert it into meter and kilometer

Sample Solution:

C++ Code :

#include<iostream> // Including input-output stream header file

using namespace std; // Using the standard namespace

int main() // Start of the main function
{
    float km, met, cent; // Declaring floating-point variables to store distances in kilometers, meters, and centimeters

    cout << "\n\n Convert centimeter into meter and kilometer :\n"; // Displaying the purpose of the program
    cout << "--------------------------------------------------\n";

    cout << " Input the distance in centimeter : "; // Prompting the user to input the distance in centimeters
    cin >> cent; // Taking the input of distance in centimeters from the user

    met = (cent / 100); // Calculating distance in meters by dividing the input by 100 (1 meter = 100 centimeters)
    km = (cent / 100000); // Calculating distance in kilometers by dividing the input by 100000 (1 kilometer = 100,000 centimeters)

    cout << " The distance in meter is: " << met << endl; // Displaying the distance in meters
    cout << " The distance in kilometer is: " << km << endl; // Displaying the distance in kilometers

    cout << endl; // Displaying an empty line for better readability

    return 0; // Returning 0 to indicate successful program execution
}

Sample Output:

 Convert centimeter into meter and kilometer :                         
--------------------------------------------------                     
 Input the distance in centimeter : 250000                             
 The distance in meter is: 2500                                        
 The distance in kilometer is: 2.5
