Write a static method that would appear in the Metric Class

Write a static method that would appear in the Metric Class. This method would be a utility method that converts an amount of miles to kilometers. Both the miles and the kilometer amount will be floating point amounts. The method receives the miles amount through a parameter. The method returns the calculated kilometers. The conversion rate for calculating kilometers from miles is 1.609. That is a miles amount times 1.609 will produce a kilometers amount.

Solution

#include <stdio.h>

#include<conio.h>

using namespace std;

//function declaration

int calculate_km(int);

//function definition

int calculate_km(int mile)

{

//conversion from mile to kilmetre

int kilometre=(1.609*mile);

return kilometre;

}

//execution starts here

int main(void)

{

float km, miles;

getchar();

printf(\"enter the miles\ \");

scanf(\"%f\", &miles);

//function call to calculate km by inputting miles as parameter

km=calculate_km(miles);

//print kilometre and mile

printf\"%f mile means %f kilometre\",miles, km);

//see output

getch();

}
