Unit Converter

In this project, you'll build a simple unit converter. A small but practical application to get you started with C++. We'll cover some common conversions like meters to feet, Celsius to Fahrenheit, and more. Everything will be explained step-by-step in great detail, so you won't miss a thing. This project is a great starting point for building your coding skills and learning how to tackle real-world problems.

Visual Studio Setup and Rundown

Steps

Set up and test our application with a basic console output.
Get input and store it in a variable. Output the variable to make sure it holds the right value.
Multiply/Divide the user-input variable to convert it from one unit to another and output the result.

Frech application

#include <iostream>

int main() 
{
	std::cout << "Hello World!\n";
}

01:24-02:36

Step 1 code:

#include <iostream>

int main() 
{
	std::cout << "Unit Converter (cm => m)\nPlease input your number (in cm)";
}

Step 2 code:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::cout << "Unit Converter (cm => m)\nPlease input your number (in cm)";

    float userInput = 0;
    std::cin >> userInput;

    std::cout << userInput;
}

Step 3 code:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::cout << "Unit Converter (cm => m)\nPlease input your number (in cm)";

    float userInput = 0.f;
    std::cin >> userInput;

    std::cout << userInput << " cm is " << userInput / 100.f << "m.\n";
}
