I am taking a Visual Basic .NET in class this semester and up to
this point everything has seem to be going smoothly! Yesterday, I
received my assignment, I read through the chapter and thought I
could
handle this assignment. Well I was wrong and cannot understand it at
all....This particular assignment is a freebie....do it so I can get
the real assignment....don't even have to hand it in but if I dont
understand it my next assignment really will not make any sense at
all.
So I need some help!! I've done the simple part of creating the
form....no code though....I do not understand the
constant...vaiables....so if anyone could write the code and send it
to me in a notepad or word file

English to Metric Conversion


Design and develop a project to convert an English measurement in
miles, yards, feet, and inches to a metric measurement in kilometers,
meters, and centimeters. Use the following formula to change the
English measurement to inches:


Total Inches = 63,360 x Miles + 36 X Yards + 12 X Feet + Inches
Use the following formula to determine the equivalent meters:


Meters = Total Inches / 39.37


Declare constants for all numeric values in the two formulas above.
The
variable used to represent the number of meters and the numeric
constant 39.37 must be declared as the data type Double. The
constants
and data types in the first formula should be declared as integers.
Convert the Total Inches in the second formula to a Double data type
before using it in the calculation. Set Option Strict to On in your
code.


(Hint: After the number of meters has been determined, the maximum
number of kilometers can be computed from: Kilometers = Meters\
1,000.
Next, the remaining meters can be determined from: Remaining Meters =
Meters -1,000 * Kilometers. The number of integer meters in Remaining
Meters then can be determined from: Integer Meters =
Convert.ToInt32(Remaining Meters). Continue with the same technique
to
compute the number of centimeters.)


Use the following test data to test your program: 2 miles, 5 yards, 2
feet, and 7 inches. The result should be 3 kilometers, 224 meters,
and
5.38 centimeters.
