About
When you travel, everything changes: people, languages, time zones, and even units. It may be difficult to read the temperature in Fahrenheit when you’ve always used Celsius, or to measure yourself in kilos if you’ve only used pounds. It’s no easy matter, though a nice unit converter could certainly help! In this project, you will write a converter that handles distance, weight, and temperature units – all the traveller’s essentials.
Training project
This project allows you to practice and strengthen your coding skills, helping you get ready for more advanced tasks ahead.
What you'll learn
Once you choose a project, we'll provide you with a study plan that includes all the necessary topics from your course to get it built. Here’s what awaits you:
Display simple conversion examples: for instance, a standard measurement table.
Teach your program to convert kilometers to meters.
Teach your program to handle other distance units - yards, feet and inches - and convert them to meters.
Now you can convert all distance units; time to enable your converter to work with weight measure units as well.
Your converter is only missing one thing: temperatures. Teach it to convert Fahrenheir, Celsius and Kelvin, and your ultimate unit converter is ready.

This could get very messy if one does not think about the structure of all the possible inputs. Al ...

To be honest it was too easy, but I had already learned a lot. If you are just starting to learn programming, I suggest you start here. Here you will learn about Enum, loop and maybe about Regex
