Can you help me write a C++ program that uses include <iostream.h> which has
a function to convert miles to kilometres. ( 1 km = 0.621371 miles I think)
What const double can I use for the conversion factor?
In more particular terms, I need help to write a program that prompts the
user for a value in miles and outputs the equivalent value in km using a
precision of 2 digits after the decimal. In the function definition need to
take the miles variables as a formal parameter and returns the km value. I
think I know how a prototype can be used but I don't know how to write a
program where you don't need to use it. Can anyone help me?
