Unit Conversion Program using Classes

Welcome back guys, I hope you like my previous article, Introduction to Classes in C++, in this article we will be further continuing our discussion on classes in C++. We will not be discussing anything new on the topic though, just a simple example program to elaborate more on Classes in C++.

In this article, I will show you a program based on classes, which converts units of length from one to another. The program is simple and I do not think there is any need for discussing it in detail.

The example program is given below:

  //C++ Program
  #include<iostream.h>

  class length
  {
   private:
   float in_meter, in_cm, in_inch;

   public:
   void input(float len,int ch);
   float output(int ch);
  };

  //---function definition starts---
  void length::input(float len,int ch)
  {
   switch(ch)
   {
    case 1://for meter
    in_meter=len;
    in_cm=in_meter*100;
    in_inch=in_cm*2.54;
    break;

    case 2://for cm
    in_cm=len;
    in_meter=in_cm/100;
    in_inch=in_cm/2.54;
    break;

    case 3://for inch
    in_inch=len;
    in_cm=in_inch*2.54;
    in_meter=in_cm/100;
    break;
   }
  }

  float length::output(int ch)
  {
   switch(ch)
   {
    case 1://for meter
    return in_meter;

    case 2://for cm
    return in_cm;
    case 3://for inch
    return in_inch;

    default://for other values
    return -1;
   }
  }
  //---function definition ends---

  void main(void)
  {
   int choice;
   float org_length;

   length length_obj;

   cout<<"Enter choice of unit:";
   cout<<"\n\n 1>Meter";
   cout<<"\n\n 2>Centimeter";
   cout<<"\n\n 3>Inch\n";
   cin>>choice;

   cout<<"\nEnter Length:";
   cin>>org_length;

   length_obj.input(org_length,choice);

   cout<<"\nLength in Meters: "<<length_obj.output(1);
   cout<<"\nLength in CMs : "<<length_obj.output(2);
   cout<<"\nLength in Inches: "<<length_obj.output(3);
   cout<<"\n\n";
  }

Enough for now, please check back for updates!

Fix For Toshiba Satellite "RTC Battery is Low" Error (with Pictures)

RTC Battery is Low Error on a Toshiba Satellite laptop "RTC Battery is Low..." An error message flashing while you try to boot your laptop is enough to panic many people. But worry not! "RTC Battery" stands for Real-Time Clock battery which almost all laptops and PCs have on their motherboard to power the clock and sometimes to also keep the CMOS settings from getting erased while the system is switched off.  It is not uncommon for these batteries to last for years before requiring a replacement as the clock consumes very less power. And contrary to what some people tell you - they are not rechargeable or getting charged while your computer or laptop is running. In this article, we'll learn everything about RTC batteries and how to fix the error on your Toshiba Satellite laptop. What is an RTC Battery? RTC or CMOS batteries are small coin-shaped lithium batteries with a 3-volts output. Most laptops use

The Best Way(s) to Comment out PHP/HTML Code

PHP supports various styles of comments. Please check the following example: <?php // Single line comment code (); # Single line Comment code2 (); /* Multi Line comment code(); The code inside doesn't run */ // /* This doesn NOT start a multi-line comment block /* Multi line comment block The following line still ends the multi-line comment block //*/ The " # " comment style, though, is rarely used. Do note, in the example, that anything (even a multi-block comment /* ) after a " // " or " # " is a comment, and /* */ around any single-line comment overrides it. This information will come in handy when we learn about some neat tricks next. Comment out PHP Code Blocks Check the following code <?php //* Toggle line if ( 1 ) {      // } else {      // } //*/ //* Toggle line if ( 2 ) {      // } else {      // } //*/ Now see how easy it is to toggle a part of PHP code by just removing or adding a single " / " from th

Pong Game in HTML & JavaScript (Updated)

HTML Pong Game Gameplay Pong is one of the first games that many people from the 80s or 90s had played as children. Lots of people know it as a simple arcade game but what they probably do not know is that this simple game helped establish the video game industry! In this post, we'll be making our version of a very simple but fully working Pong game in HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Basic Game Structure Games, however simple or complex they may be, follow the basic Game Loop design as shown in the chart below. Event-oriented game engines usually encapsulate the design and provide you with an event mechanism for handling various parts like the input, update, and rendering but internally the basic design is being followed. Pong Game Loop For our Game Loop, we'll be using JavaScript setInterval so that the game code remains asynchronous and separate. As you may have guessed a while (or any other loop) will freeze the page. For our input, we'll be using onmousemove event to update t
