How can I create a console-based application whose Main() method

holds an integer variable named inches, and prompt

the user for a value. and to create a method to which I pass

inches. The method converts the value to feet and inches

and displays the result. For example, 67 inches is 5 feet 7

inches. ?

Try this:

using System;

class Program
{
static void Main()
{
Console.Write("Enter number of inches : ");
int inches = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
InchesToFeet(inches);
Console.ReadKey();
}

static void InchesToFeet(int inches)
{
int feet = inches / 12;
int inches2 = inches % 12;
string inchStr = (inches == 1) ? "inch" :"inches";
string footStr = (feet == 1) ? "foot" : "feet";
string inchStr2 = (inches2 == 1) ? "inch" :"inches";
Console.WriteLine("{0} {1} is {2} {3} {4} {5}", inches, inchStr, feet, footStr, inches2, inchStr2);
}
}

The code for a Windows Forms application would be on the following lines:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

// add 'skeleton' handler by double-clicking button in VS designer
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int inches;
bool isValid = int.TryParse(textBox1.Text, out inches);
if (!isValid || inches < -1)
{
MessageBox.Show("Number of inches is invalid. Please amend");
textBox1.Focus();
return;
}

textBox2.Text = InchesToFeet(inches);
textBox3.Text = InchesToYards(inches);
}

private static string InchesToFeet(int inches)
{
int feet = inches / 12;
int inches2 = inches % 12;
string footStr = (feet == 1) ? "foot" : "feet";
string inchStr2 = (inches2 == 1) ? "inch" : "inches";
return String.Format("{0} {1} {2} {3}", feet, footStr, inches2, inchStr2);
}

private static string InchesToYards(int inches)
{
int feet = inches / 12;
int inches2 = inches % 12;
int yards = feet / 3;
feet = feet % 3;
string footStr = (feet == 1) ? "foot" : "feet";
string inchStr2 = (inches2 == 1) ? "inch" : "inches";
string yardStr = (yards == 1) ? "yard" : "yards";
return String.Format("{0} {1} {2} {3} {4} {5}", yards, yardStr, feet, footStr, inches2, inchStr2);
}
}

how about to Create a GUI application in which the user enters a
value for inches. When the user clicks a button, convert
the value to feet and inches and to yards, feet, and
inches, using separate methods for the calculations
described in two question above?

Here's the revised code:

using System;

class Program
{
static void Main()
{
Console.Write("Enter number of inches : ");
int inches = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
InchesToFeet(inches);
InchesToYards(inches);
Console.ReadKey();
}

static void InchesToFeet(int inches)
{
int feet = inches / 12;
int inches2 = inches % 12;
string inchStr = (inches == 1) ? "inch" :"inches";
string footStr = (feet == 1) ? "foot" : "feet";
string inchStr2 = (inches2 == 1) ? "inch" :"inches";
Console.WriteLine("{0} {1} is {2} {3} {4} {5}", inches, inchStr, feet, footStr, inches2, inchStr2);
}

static void InchesToYards(int inches)
{
int feet = inches / 12;
int inches2 = inches % 12;
int yards = feet / 3;
feet = feet % 3;
string inchStr = (inches == 1) ? "inch" :"inches";
string footStr = (feet == 1) ? "foot" : "feet";
string inchStr2 = (inches2 == 1) ? "inch" :"inches";
string yardStr = (yards == 1) ? "yard" : "yards";
Console.WriteLine("{0} {1} is {2} {3} {4} {5} {6} {7}", inches, inchStr, yards, yardStr, feet, footStr, inches2, inchStr2);
}
}

Add a second method to the InchesToFeet class. This
method displays a passed argument as yards, feet, and
inches. For example, 67 inches is 1 yard, 2 feet, and 7
inches. Add a statement to the Main() method so that
after it calls the method to convert inches to feet and
inches, it passes the same variable to the new method to
convert the same value to yards, feet, and inches and then
displays the result.
