Conversion Program

Write a program that asks the user to enter a distance in meters. The program will then present the following menu of selections:

  1. 1. Convert to kilometers
  2. 2. Convert to inches
  3. 3. Convert to feet
  4. 4. Quit the program

The program will convert the distance to kilometers, inches, or feet, depending on the user’s selection. Here are the specific requirements:

  • • Write a void method named showKi1ometers, which accepts the number of meters as an argument. The method should display the argument converted to kilometers. Convert the meters to kilometers using the following formula:kilometers = meters * 0.001
  • Write a void method named showlnches, which accepts the number of meters as an argument. The method should display the argument converted to inches. Convert the meters to inches using the following formula:inches = meters * 39.37
  • Write a void method named showFeet, which accepts the number of meters as an argument. The method should display the argument converted to feet. Convert the meters to feet using the following formula:feet = meters * 3.281
  • Write a void method named menu that displays the menu of selections. This method should not accept any arguments.
  • The program should continue to display the menu until the user enters 4 to quit the program.
  • The program should not accept negative numbers for the distance in meters.
  • If the user selects an invalid choice from the menu, the program should display an error message.

Here is an example session with the program, using console input. The user’s input is shown in bold.

Enter a distance in meters: 500 [Enter]

  1. 1. Convert to kilometers
  2. 2. Convert to inches
  3. 3. Convert to feet
  4. 4. Quit the program

Enter your choice: 1 [Enter]

500 meters is 0.5 kilometers.

  1. 1. Convert to kilometers
  2. 2. Convert to inches
  3. 3. Convert to feet
  4. 4. Quit the program

Enter your choice: 3 [Enter]

500 meters is 1640.5 feet.

  1. 1. Convert to kilometers
  2. 2. Convert to inches
  3. 3. Convert to feet
  4. 4. Quit the program

Enter your choice: 4 [Enter]

Bye!

The program  must include  two classesclGradesGraph and GradesGrapghDemo. GradesGraphDemo (one method)- Main method only GradesGraph- Include at least 4 methods (No credits without at least 4 methods!!!) Create a class that represents the grade distribution for a given course. In this class you should write methods to perform the following tasks: Read the number of each of the letter grades A, B, C D and F Set the number of letter grades A, B, C, D and F Return the total number of grades Return the percentage of each letter grade as a whole number between 0 and 100 inclusive Draw a bar graph of the grade distributionThe graph should have five bars, one per grade. Each bar can be a horizontal row of asterisks, such that the number of asterisks in a row is proportionate to the percentage of grades in each category. For example, let on asterisk represent 2%, so 50 asterisks correspond to 100%. Mark the horizontal axis at 10% increments from 0 to 100% and label each line with a letter…
Prime Number List Use the isPrime method that you wrote in Programming Challenge 13 in a program that prompts the user to enter an integer number, then displays all prime numbers less than the user number separated by a space.     Here is a working code but please fix it so it will in Hypergrade which as all the test casses. I DO NOT NEED THANK YOU IN THE PROGRAM. IT HAS TO PASS ALL THE TEST CASSES PLEASE. THANK YOU!!!!!:   import java.util.Scanner;public class PrimeNumberList {        // Method to check if a number is prime    public static boolean isPrime(int num) {        if (num <= 1) {            return false;        }        for (int i = 2; i <= Math.sqrt(num); i++) {            if (num % i == 0) {                return false;            }        }        return true;    }    public static void main(String[] args) {        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);                // Prompt the user to enter a number        System.out.print("Enter a number: \n");…
Q2: Test Average and Grade Write a program that asks the user to enter five test scores. The program should display a letter grade for each score and the average test score. Write the following methods in the program: • calcAverage-This method should accept five test scores as arguments and return the average of the scores. • determine Grade-This method should accept a test score as an argument and return a letter grade for the score, based on the following grading scale: Letter Grade Score 90-100 80-89 70-79 60-69 Below 60 A B C D F
