Convert Miles and Feet to Meters and Centimeters Using Python

Program Overview

This Python program receives input values in miles and feet, then converts them to meters and centimeters.
Conversion constants:
- 1 mile = 1609.35 meters
- 1 foot = 0.3048 meters

Python Code:

# Conversion constants
MILE_TO_METERS = 1609.35
FOOT_TO_METERS = 0.3048

# Read inputs from user
miles = float(input("Enter number of miles: "))
feet = float(input("Enter number of feet: "))

# Convert to total meters
total_meters = miles * MILE_TO_METERS + feet * FOOT_TO_METERS

# Split into meters and centimeters
meters_part = int(total_meters)
centimeters_part = int((total_meters - meters_part) * 100)

# Display result
print("\n--- Result ---")
print(f"Total length: {total_meters:.2f} meters")
print(f"Approximately: {meters_part} meters and {centimeters_part} centimeters")

Sample Output:

Enter number of miles: 2  
Enter number of feet: 500  

--- Result ---  
Total length: 3383.75 meters  
Approximately: 3383 meters and 75 centimeters

Step-by-Step Explanation:

- Inputs are received as floating-point numbers
- Miles and feet are converted to meters using standard conversion factors
- The result is split into whole meters and remaining centimeters
- Output is printed in both decimal and separated format for clarity
