C++ Program to Convert Inches to Yards and Feet

Howdy readers, today you will learn how to write a program to convert inches to yards and feet using C++ Programming language.

This program prompts the user to enter the length in inches, then it converts the length into yards and feet using the following conversion factor:

• 1 Foot = 12 Inches
• 1 Yard = 3 Feet

So, without any delay, let’s begin this tutorial. 

C++ Program to Convert Inches to Yards and Feet

C++ Program

// C++ Program to Convert Inches to Yards and Feet
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(){
    float inches, yard, feet;
    
    // Asking for input
    cout << "Enter the length in inches: ";
    cin >> inches;
    
    // Converting inches to feet
    feet = inches / 12;
    
    // Converting feet to yards
    yard = feet / 3;
    
    // Displaying result
    cout << "Equivalent length in feet: " << feet << endl;
    cout << "Equivalent length in yards: " << yard << endl;
    
    return 0;
}

Output

Enter the length in inches: 1200
Equivalent length in feet: 100
Equivalent length in yards: 33.3333

Explanation

    float inches, yard, feet;

In the above example, we have declared three float data type variables named inches, yard and feet.

    // Asking for input
    cout << "Enter the length in inches: ";
    cin >> inches;

This program prompts the user to enter the length in inches. This value gets stored in the inches named variable.

    // Converting inches to feet
    feet = inches / 12;

We convert the length from inches to feet using the factor, 1 Foot = 12 inches.

    // Converting feet to yards
    yard = feet / 3;

Similarly, we obtain the length in yards using the factor, 1 Yard = 3 Feet. We can also use the factor 1 Yard = 36 inches for the conversion.

    // Displaying result
    cout << "Equivalent length in feet: " << feet << endl;
    cout << "Equivalent length in yards: " << yard << endl;

At the last, the equivalent length in feet and yard is displayed on the screen using the cout statement. endl is used to insert a newline character. It is similar to the \n character.
