Program to Convert Given Inches into Equivalent Yards and Feet

A unit is a known quantity used in measurement. Unit conversion is the process of converting one unit into another. When calculating the distance, inches, feet, and yards are popular units. If you are a beginner in computer programming , writing a program to convert units is entry-level.

In this tutorial, we will write a program that can accept length in inches and convert it to the corresponding yard and feet. It is extremely simple to write this program. You only need to know the syntax of the programming language in which you want to write and the formula for converting inches into yards and feet.

Formula to Convert Inches into Yards and Feet

If we look at the length converter, there are 36 inches in 1 yard and 12 inches in 1 foot.

So, the formula to convert inches into yards is

Yard = Inches / 36

The formula to convert inches into feet is

Foot = Inches / 12

Now, let's write our program to convert the given inches into equivalent yards and feet in different programming languages - C, C++, Java, and Python.

C Program to Convert Given Inches into Equivalent Yards and Feet

#include <stdio.h>

int main() 
{
    float inch, foot, yard;
    
    //ask user to enter Inches
	printf("Enter Inches: ");
    scanf("%f", &inch);
    
    //convert inches into yards
    yard = inch/36;
    //convert inches into feet
    foot = inch/12;
    
    printf("There are %.2f yard(s) in %.2f inch(es)\n", yard, inch);
    printf("There are %.2f foot in %.2f inch(es)\n", foot, inch);
    
    return 0;
}

Output

Enter Inches: 12
There are 0.33 yard(s) in 12.00 inch(es)
There are 1.00 foot in 12.00 inch(es)

C++ Program to Convert Given Inches into Equivalent Yards and Feet

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() 
{
   float inch, foot, yard;
    
    //ask user to enter Inches
    cout<<"Enter Inches: "; 
    cin>>inch;
    
    //convert inches into yards
    yard = inch/36;
    //convert inches into feet
    foot = inch/12;
    
    cout<<"There are "<<yard<<" yard(s) in "<<inch<<" inch(es)\n";
    cout<<"There are "<<foot<<" foot in " <<inch<<" inch(es)\n";
    
    return 0;
}

Output

Enter Inches: 13
There are 0.361111 yard(s) in 13 inch(es)
There are 1.08333 foot in 13 inch(es)

Python Program to Convert Given Inches into Equivalent Yards and Feet

inch = int(input("Enter Inches: "))

# convert inches into yards
yard = inch/36
# convert inches into feet
foot = inch/12

print(f"There are {round(yard,4)} yard(s) in {inch} inch(es)")
print(f"There are {round(foot,4)} foot in {inch} inch(es)")

Output

Enter Inches: 23
There are 0.6389 yard(s) in 23 inch(es)
There are 1.9167 foot in 23 inch(es)

Java Program to Convert Given Inches into Equivalent Yards and Feet

import java.util.*;
class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        float inch, foot, yard;
        Scanner ss = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.println("Please enter inches:");
        inch = ss.nextFloat();
        yard = inch / 36;
        System.out.println("There are " + yard +" yard(s) " + inch +" in inches ");
        foot = inch /12;
        System.out.println("There are " + foot +" feet " + inch +" in inches ");
    }
}

Output

Please enter inches:
35
There are 0.9722222 yard(s) 35.0 in inches 
There are 2.9166667 feet 35.0 in inches
