Project Description Write a program that performs various unit conversions between metric and imperial systems. The program asks the user if he or she wants to convert one of the options below (the exact menu format is shown in the sample run below): 1. From feet and inches to meters and centimeters 2. From meters and centimeters to feet and inches 3. From pounds and ounces to kilograms and grams 4. From kilograms and grams to pounds and ounces The program then performs the desired conversion. Have the user respond by typing the integer (1,2,3, or 4) for the desired type of conversion. The program reads the user's answer and then executes a selection statement. Each branch of this selection statement will be a function call. Thus, you will need in your program at least four (4) functions. Also, include a loop that lets the user repeat this computation for new input values until the user says he or she wants to end the program. If the user requests an invalid option, the program displays a message and generates the same menu again. The demo at the end will show you some sample runs, to give a better (visual) clarification. The four functions that you must include in your code are: void ImperialToMetricL(); // requests English length measure, converts to metric, outputs both void Metric TolmperialL(); // request metric length measure, converts to English, outputs both void ImperialToMetricW(); // requests English mass measure, converts to metric, outputs both void MetricTolmperialW(); // request metric mass measure, converts to English, outputs both As you can see from the description of the functions above, they (each) perform several tasks, namely request (read input), convert, and output. Feel free to implement these sub tasks in separate functions. Important Tips You must follow the tips below to get a full mark: 1. Use meaningful identifier names (don't use int x and double y) 2. Use comments throughout your code and explain the purpose of each function 3. Use functions and minimize the amount of coding in your main function. Create at least the four functions mentioned above Useful Hints The imperial system is also known as the English or British measurement system. There are 0.3048 meters in a foot, 100 centimeters in a meter, and 12 inches in a foot. Since the metric system can naturally handle meters and centimeters as a real number, you can define it as a double value. For example, 1.75 meters is equal to 1 meter and 75 centimeters. There are 0.4536 kilogram in a pound, 1000 grams in a kilogram, and 16 ounces in a pound. Since the metric system can naturally handle kilograms and grams as a real number, you can define it as a double value. For example, 1.75 kilograms is equal to 1 kilogram and 750 grams. To make the program easier, we will assume the user can insert ounces value that is higher than a pound. For example, 1 pound and 20 ounces is an acceptable input, even though there is only 16 ounces in a pound. The same is applicable to the feet and inches. When converting, you should be careful that 2 pounds and 5 ounces is not 2.5 pounds. Grade Distribution When you submit your program include the code, a short report that lists and explains what kind of variables and functions you used, and screen shots of your output. Don't forget, you have to submit both electronic and printed copy of your work in order to get a grade. The 10 points will be distributed as follows: • Code: 7 Pts. o Comments, proper coding, variable naming and general layout (1 Pt.) o Properly displaying the menu and repeating it within a loop (2 Pts.)
