Question

Write a program that contains the function measure() that is to accept a long integer number total and the addresses of the integer variables inches, feet, yards, and miles. The passed long integer represents the total number of inches, and the function is to determine the number of miles, yards, feet, and inches in the passed value, writing these values directly into the respective variables declared in the calling function.

This function will be called from the main program and when it returns to main, it will print out the values of inches, feet, yards, and miles.

Use the relationships:

inch

foot (12 inches)

yard (36 inches; 3 feet)

mile (5280 feet; 1760 yards; 63,360 inches)

I have posted the C program I've written so far and just can't seem to get the correct output.

#include <stdio.h>

void measure(int &inches, int &feet, int &yards, int &miles, int &i);

int main()
{
   int length, inches, feet, yards, miles = 0;
   printf("Enter the length in inches:");
   scanf_s("%d", &length);
   measure(length, inches, feet, yards, miles);
   printf("Total length : %d\n", length);
   printf("Inches : %d\n", inches);
   printf("Feet : %d\n", feet);
   printf("Yards : %d\n", yards);
   printf("Miles : %d\n", miles);
   return 0;
}

void measure(int &inches, int &feet, int &yards, int &miles, int &i)
{
   int total;
   total = inches;
   feet = total / 12;
   yards = total / 36;
   miles = total / 63360;
}

#include <stdio.h>

void measure(int *inches, int *feet, int *yards, int *miles, int *i);

int main()
{
int length, inches, feet, yards, miles = 0;
printf("Enter the length in inches:");
scanf("%d", &length);
measure(&length, &inches, &feet, &yards, &miles);
printf("Total length : %d\n", length);
printf("Inches : %d\n", inches);
printf("Feet : %d\n", feet);
printf("Yards : %d\n", yards);
printf("Miles : %d\n", miles);
return 0;
}

void measure(int * length,int *inches, int *feet, int *yards, int *miles)
{
int total;
total = *length;

// 1st we need to find the miles
*miles = total / 63360;

// than we need have only inches which are left after converting to miles
total =total %63360;

*yards = total / 36;
total=total % 36;

*feet = total / 12;
*inches=total % 12;

}

Enter the length in inches:100000 Total length : 100000 Inches : 4 Feet : 2 Yards : 1017 Miles: 1 ... Program finished with exit code 0 Press ENTER to exit console.
