Write a function feet to meters() that changes the values of meter and cm based on the user inputs feet and inches, where meters, cm, feet, and inches are all variables. Embed this function in a loop so the user can keep inputting feet and inches and the program calls feet to meters() to give updated meters and cm. You are going to print the values of meters and cm in the main function so see how ref params work. Note that 1 inch = 2.54 cm

Write a function feet to meters() that changes the values of meter and cm based on the user inputs feet and
inches, where meters, cm, feet, and inches are all variables. Embed this function in a loop so the user can keep
inputting feet and inches and the program calls feet to meters() to give updated meters and cm.
You are going to print the values of meters and cm in the main function so see how ref params work.
Note that 1 inch = 2.54 cm

Expert Solution
Step 1

Let's understand step by step :

 

1. First of all declare double variables feet ,inches ,meters and cm as class data members.

2. Now inside main function run a infinite while loop and each time take input of feet and inches.

3. Now call function feet_to_meters(feet,inches,object)

In this function pass object of the class so that updated value of meters and cm can be fetched.

4. Now inside function feet_to_meters()

find meters by multiplying 0.3048 with feet

and find cm by multiplying 2.54 with inches

5. Finally print meters and cm inside main function.
