Distance Convertor
Chapter 1 – INTRODUCTION TO PROJECT
1.1 ABSTRACT
In that Project we Represent the project of Distance Convertor and Implement the program will
then present a user menu of conversion types, converting the distance to kilometers, feet and
inches, according to the user’s selection. The converted distances will then be printed.
Conversion of units is the conversion between different units of measurement for the same
quantity, typically through multiplicative conversion factors.
The mile is an English unit of length of linear measure equal to 5,280 feet, or 1,760 yards, and
standardized as exactly 1,609.344 meters by international agreement in 1959.
1.2 RATIONALE
Importance of the project of the project in to converter in the distance convertor using netback
Miles and Kilometers are different units used for distance measurement. For example Miles is part
of the imperial system and Kilometers is part of the metric system. The following formula can be
used to convert miles into kilometers,
Distance in km = 1.60934 * distance in miles.
The following formula can be used to convert kilometers to miles,
Distance in miles = 0.621371 * distance in km
There are many conversion tools. They are found in the function libraries of applications such as
spreadsheets databases, in calculators, and in macro packages and plugins for many other
applications such as the mathematical, scientific and technical applications.
There are many standalone applications that offer the thousands of the various units with
conversions. For example, the free software movement offers a command line utility GNU units for
Linux and Windows.
1.3 COURSE OUTCOMES ADDRESSED
i. Develop a program using object oriented methodology in java.
ii. Apply concept of inheritance for code reusability.
iii. Implement the Exaptation handling.

Chapter 2 – LITERATURE REVIEW
The mile is an English unit of length of linear measure equal to 5,280 feet, or 1,760 yards, and
standardized as exactly 1,609.344 meters by international agreement in 1959.
A conversion factor is used to change the units of a measured quantity without changing its value.
The unity bracket method of unit conversion consists of a fraction in which the denominator is
equal to the numerator, but they are in different units. Because of the identity property of
multiplication, the value of a quantity will not change as long as it is multiplied by one.[2] Also, if
the numerator and denominator of a fraction are equal to each other, then the fraction is equal to
one. So as long as the numerator and denominator of the fraction are equivalent, they will not
affect the value of the measured quantity.
The following example demonstrates how the unity bracket method is used to convert the rate 5
kilometers per second to meters per second. The symbols km, m, and s represent kilometer, meter,
and second, respectively. Thus, it is found that 5 kilometers per second is equal to 5000 meters per
second.
The program will then present the following menu of selections:
Main Menu: -
1. Convert to kilometers
2. Convert to inches
3. Convert to feet
4. Quit the program
The program will convert the distance to kilometers, inches, or feet, depending on the user’s
selection. Here are the specific requirements:
1. Write a method named calculate Kilometers, which accepts the number of meters as an
argument. The method should return the argument converted to kilometers. Convert the
meters to kilometers using the following formula: kilometers = meters * 0.001
2. Write a method named calculate Inches, which accepts the number of meters as an
argument. The method should return the argument converted to inches, Convert the
meters to inches using the following formula: inches = meters * 39.37
3. Write a method named calculate Feet, which accepts the number of meters as an argument.
The method should return the argument converted to feet. Convert the meters to feet using
the following formula: feet = meters * 3.281

4. Write a method named menu that returns a list of menu of selections. This method should
not accept any arguments.
5. The program should continue to display the menu until the user enters 4 to quit the
program.
6. If the user selects an invalid choice from the menu, the program should display an error
message.

ADVANTAGES, DISADVANTAGES & APPLICATIONS
5.1 ADVANTAGES
− Metric system is a decimal system of weights and measures it is easy to
convert between units (e.g. from millimeters to meters, or grams to kilograms) simply by
multiplying or dividing by 10, 100, 1000, etc. Often this is just a case of moving the decimal
point to the right or left.
− Cost of transmission is less, since only two conductors are used for transmission. There is no
reactive power. So transmission losses are reduced. Due to high voltage transmission, for
the same power current is less.
5.2 DISADVANTAGES
− The only major disadvantage in using the metric system is that it's not well-suited for
working with fractions. For example, 1/6 meter is approximately equivalent to 167
millimeters and 1/3 kilogram is approximately equal to 333 grams.
5.3 APPLICATIONS
− A conversion factor is used to change the units of a measured quantity without changing its
value. The unity bracket method of unit conversion consists of a fraction in which the
denominator is equal to the numerator, but they are in different units.
− There are many conversion tools. They are found in the function libraries of applications
such as spreadsheets databases, in calculators, and in macro packages and plugins for many
other applications such as the mathematical, scientific and technical applications.
