UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT DATA

YOUR TASK

Write a program to produce a simple flight report for an airline.

Here is the basic program output/behavior. Sample user input is highlighted yellow and

underlined below:

Welcome to United Airlines. Please enter flight data:

Enter three-letter code of the departure airport (e.g., ORD): ORD Enter three-letter code of the destination airport: PSP

Enter flight distance in miles: 1979

FLIGHT DATA REPORT: ORD TO PSP ------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL DISTANCE: 1979 Miles (3166 KM)

ESTIMATED FLIGHT TIME: 3.47 hours

Heres a second test run with different data:

Welcome to United Airlines. Please enter flight data:

Enter three-letter code of the departure airport (e.g., ORD): LAX Enter three-letter code of the destination airport: HND

Enter flight distance in miles: 5471

FLIGHT DATA REPORT: LAX TO HND ------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL DISTANCE: 5471 Miles (8753 KM)

ESTIMATED FLIGHT TIME: 9.60 hours

Your program will prompt the user for the three-letter codes of both the departure and destination airports, as well as the distance (in miles) between those two airports. You will have to create appropriately named variables of appropriate data types to receive

those values with cin (you can use strings for the airport codes and float or int data for the distance). Note that the values highlighted in yellow above are just sample input values. Your program should work with any values the user enters.

Convert miles to kilometers (kilometers = miles * 1.6) so you can display both values in your flight report.

Calculate the estimated flight time by dividing the distance (in miles) by 570 (which is the average flight speed of a 747 airplane in miles per hour).

Estimated flight time should display to two decimal places. For this you can use the fixed << showpoint << setprecision(2) technique discussed in our book and lecture videos.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

Your program must be coded in the standard C++ style shown in our textbook and our

CSC140 online lecture videos.

When you are done, submit your .cpp file through Canvas.
