Thread: Void conversion function for feet and inches to meters and centimeters?

I got all the rest of the code working but I just can't figure out how to convert the input into meters and centimeters. For example I know that 1 foot is 0.3048 meters, so I need to multiply the feet by 0.3048.

But every time I run it, it never converts it, it just says 6.78222e-308 meters.

Here's the code:

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void userInput(double& feet, double& inches);
void convertUStoMetric(double& meters, double& centimeters);
void output(double meters, double centimeters);

int main()
{
	double unit, subunit;
	char redo = 'y';
	
	while (redo == 'y' || redo == 'Y')
	{
	
			userInput(unit, subunit);
			convertUStoMetric(unit, subunit);
			output(unit, subunit);
		
		cout << "Would you like to run it again? Y/N: ";
     	cin >> redo;
     	cout << "\n";
	}
	
	system("pause");
    return 0;   
}

void userInput(double& feet, double& inches)
{
	cout << "Enter the feet and inches with a space in between each: ";
	cin >> feet;
	cin >> inches;
	cout << "\n";	
}

void convertUStoMetric(double& meters, double& centimeters)
{
	double total;
	total = total * 0.3048;
	meters = total;
	
	
}

void output(double meters, double centimeters)
{
	cout << "The converted measurements are " << meters << " meters and " << centimeters << " centimeters.";
	cout << "\n\n";	
}

I don't understand how I'm supposed to do the convertUStoMetric conversion function.

Am I supposed to create a new variable?

OK never mind about the conversion, I got

Code:

meters = meters * 0.3048;

and it worked for the feet to meters conversion.

But I have to make it so there are no decimals in it. If it's 10 feet to meters, it'll have to be 3 meters and ? centimeters.

Wow thanks that actually works great and does exactly what I want it to!
