Question

In each of the projects that follow, you should write a program that contains an introductory docstring. This documentation should describe what the program will do (analysis) and how it will do it (design the program in the form of a pseudocode algorithm). Include suitable prompts for all inputs, and label all outputs appropri- ately. After you have coded a program, be sure to test it with a reasonable set of legitimate inputs.

Q. Write a program that takes as input a number of kilometers and prints the corresponding number of nautical miles. Use the following approximations: - A kilometer represents 1/10,000 of the distance between the North Pole and the equator. - There are 90 degrees, containing 60 minutes of arc each, between the North Pole and the equator. - A nautical mile is 1 minute of an arc.

def km_to_nautical_miles(kilometers):
    """
    THIS METHOD WILL TAKE THE kilometers PARAMETER AND CALCULATE THE NAUTICAL
    MILES OF THE KILOMETERS as kilometers*(5400/10000)
    :param kilometers:A float value that represents the number of kilometers
    :return: The calculated nautical_miles value
    """
    nautical_miles = kilometers
    nautical_miles /= 10000  ##  North Pole and Equator distance in Kilometers
    nautical_miles *= 90     ##  90 degrees between North Pole and Equator
    nautical_miles *= 60     ## 60 minutes of arc per degree

    return nautical_miles


km = float(input("Number of kilometers: "))
num_nautical_miles = km_to_nautical_miles(km)

print(km, 'kilometers is equal to ', num_nautical_miles, " nautical miles")
