Free program that convert pound to kilos and inchs to cms and feet to metres code

[zivxx]

hey, for those who talk to people around the world, and ask their weight and height i made a program just for you!
when you runing this program after compiling it will ask you for inchs,pounds or feets value...after you enter it it will calcute and give you the results, inchs to Cms feets to Metres and Pound to Kilos...have fun guys...btw its in C#


// main program
using System;
public class Sup
{
public static void Main()
{
string Exit="";
while (Exit !="exit")
{
if (Exit!="1"&&Exit!="2"&&Exit!="3")
{
Console.WriteLine("choose a menu");
Console.WriteLine("1 Inch To Centimeter Converter");
Console.WriteLine("2 Pound To KiloGrams Converter");
Console.WriteLine("3 Feet To Meter Converter");
Exit=Console.ReadLine();
}
//program 1
if (Exit=="1")
{
double inch,centimeter;
Console.WriteLine("enter inch value");
inch=double.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
centimeter=inch*2.54;
Console.WriteLine(centimeter);
Console.WriteLine("what menu would you like to go back to?(for the main menu choose something which is not 1 2 or 3)");
Exit=Console.ReadLine();
}
//program 2
if (Exit=="2")
{
double pound,kg;
Console.WriteLine("enter pounds value");
pound=double.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
kg=pound*0.4535924;
Console.WriteLine(kg);
Console.WriteLine("what menu would you like to go back to?(for the main menu choose something which is not 1 2 or 3)");
Exit=Console.ReadLine();
}
//program 3
if (Exit=="3")
{
double meter,feet;
Console.WriteLine("enter feet value");
feet=double.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
meter=0.3048*feet;
Console.WriteLine(meter);
Console.WriteLine("what menu would you like to go back to?(for the main menu choosing something which is not 1 2 or 3)");
Exit=Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
}

(You should give the method to compile and run it)

I thought C# was windows specific....does C# run on ubuntu??? If so, what would I do to run this code?

[amo-ej1]

C# is only a language nothing more ....


Concering the application, google is just a bit more userfriendly. Surf to google.com and type in the inputfield "1kg in pounds"

here is a guide to install mono and compile and run my program too

As a wee exercise in C, here's a C clone of this.



#include <stdio.h>

enum
{
INCH_TO_CM = 1,
POUND_TO_KG = 2,
FOOT_TO_M = 3
} mode;

int
main (void)
{
int mode;
double imperial;
double metric;

printf ("Choose from the menu\n");
printf ("1 -- Inches to centimetres converter\n");
printf ("2 -- Pounds to kilograms converter\n");
printf ("3 -- Feet to metres converter\n");
scanf ("%d", &mode);

switch (mode)
{
case INCH_TO_CM:
/* Program 1 */
printf ("Enter inch value ");
scanf ("%lf", &imperial);
metric = imperial * 2.54;
printf ("%lf\n", metric);
break;
case POUND_TO_KG:
/* Program 2 */
printf ("Enter pounds value ");
scanf ("%lf", &imperial);
metric = imperial * 0.4535924;
printf ("%lf\n", metric);
break;
case FOOT_TO_M:
/* Program 2 */
printf ("Enter feet value ");
scanf ("%lf", &imperial);
metric = imperial * 0.3048;
printf ("%lf\n", metric);
break;
default:
fprintf (stderr, "Mode not recognised\n");
}
return 0;
}

C looks a bit more complicated to be honest :|

Uh, sorry, when i first entered the post, Martin had not posted his version.

Looks even more complex IMHO.

For tasks like this, interpreted and dynamic languages make life easier and more productive.
