Thread: Write a program that will compute the each of the following assignment statements

Just wanted to see if there are any flaws, and if its correctly written.

Code:

//Description: Write a program that will convert miles to the
//             equivalent number of yards, feet, and inches.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
int main()
{
float miles;
printf("Input the distance in miles ");
scanf("%f", &miles);
// 1 mile = 1760 yards
printf("Value in yards is %f", miles*1760);
// 1 mile = 5280 feet
printf("\nValue in feet is %f", miles*5280);
// 1 mile = 5280 feet * 12 inches
printf("\nValue in inches is %f", miles*5280*12);
return 0;
}

The usual convention is that \n goes on the end of printf lines, not the beginning.

You might also consider making 1760, 5280, and 12 named constants, and get in the habit of making named constants for so-called "magic" numbers in all of your programs.
