C++ Tutorial: Some Lab assignments on data conversions
Questions: Write a program that can convert the Distance (meter, centimeter) to meters measurement in float and vice versa. Make a class distance with two data members, meter and centimeter. You can add function members as per your requirement.
Solution:
#include<iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;
class distance
{
private:
float meter;
float centimeter;
public:
distance():meter(0),centimeter(0){}
distance(float met) //for basic to userdefined data conversion
{
meter = static_cast<int>(met);
centimeter = static_cast<int>((met-meter)*100);
}
void getdata()
{
cout<<"Enter the value of Meter: ";
cin>>meter;
cout<<"Enter the value of Centimter: ";
cin>>centimeter;
}
operator float() //for user defined to basic data conversion
{
float met;
met = meter+centimeter/100;
return met;
}
void display(void)
{
cout<<"Meter: "<<meter<<"\n"<<" Centimeter: "<<centimeter;
}
};
int main()
{
distance d; //uset defined
float m; //basic
int temp;
cout<<"1. Conversion from (meters, centimeters) to meters "<<endl;
cout<<"2. Conversion from meters to (meters, centimeters) "<<endl;
cout<<"Enter the choice: ";
cin>>temp;
switch(temp)
{
case 1:
d.getdata();
m = d;
cout<<"The Distance in meter is: "<<m;
break;
case 2:
cout<<"Enter the value in Meter: ";
cin>>m;
d = m;
d.display();
break;
default:
cout<<"Enter either 1 or 2"<<endl;
cout<<"You Entered " <<temp;
break;
}
return 0;
}Questions: Write two classes to store distances in meter-centimeter and feet-inch system respectively. Write conversions functions so that the program can convert objects of both types.
Solution:
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
class meter_centimeter
{
private:
float meter;
float centimeter;
public:
meter_centimeter():meter(0),centimeter(0){}
meter_centimeter(float met, float cmet)
{
meter = met;
centimeter = cmet;
}
void get_mc()
{
cout<<"Enter Meter: ";
cin>>meter;
cout<<"Enter Centimeter: ";
cin>>centimeter;
}
float return_meter(){return meter;}
float return_centimeter(){return centimeter;}
void display()
{
cout<<"Meter : "<<meter<<endl;
cout<<"Centimeter : "<<centimeter;
}
};
class feet_inch
{
private:
float inch;
float feet;
public:
feet_inch():inch(0.0),feet(0.0){}
void get_fi()
{
cout<<"Enter Feet: ";
cin>>feet;
cout<<"Enter Inch: ";
cin>>inch;
}
feet_inch(meter_centimeter mc)
{
float meters = mc.return_meter() + mc.return_centimeter()/100;
float feets = meters *3.28;
feet = static_cast<int>(meters*3.28);
inch = static_cast<int>((feets - feet)*12);
}
operator meter_centimeter()
{
float feets = feet + inch *12;
float meters = feet/3.28;
float met = static_cast<int> (meters);
float cmet = static_cast<int>((meters - met)*100);
return meter_centimeter(met, cmet);
}
void display()
{
cout<<"Feet: "<<feet<<endl;
cout<<"Inch: "<<inch;
}
};
int main()
{
int temp;
meter_centimeter mc;
feet_inch fi;
cout<<"1. Conversion from meter-centimeter to feet-inch"<<endl;
cout<<"2. Conversion from feet-inch to meter-centimeter"<<endl;
cout<<"Enter your choice: ";
cin>>temp;
switch(temp)
{
case 1:
mc.get_mc();
fi = mc;
fi.display();
break;
case 2:
fi.get_fi();
mc = fi;
mc.display();
break;
default:
cout<<"Enter only 1 or 2";
break;
}
return 0;
}
