Question

Write a program that implements the pseudocode ("informal high-level description of the operating principle of a computer program or other algorithm") below:
1. Ask the user for the size of their apartment in square meters (size)
2. Convert the size to square feet using the formula: convertedSize = size * 10.764
3. Print out the converted size.

Have meaningful prompts and meaningful explanation of any numbers printed.

Answer 1

Program:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class MeterToFeetConversion {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

       System.out.print("Please enter the size of apartment in square meters : ");
      
       // Create Scanner object to get user input
       Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
      
       // get user input for size of apartment in square meters
       float inputMeters = in.nextFloat();
      
       // convert size of apartment from square meter to square feet
       float meterToFeet = (float) (inputMeters * 10.764);
      
       // print the size of apartment in square feet
       System.out.println("The size of apartment in square feet : " + meterToFeet);

   }

}

Sample Output:

Please enter the size of apartment in square meters : 2
The size of apartment in square feet : 21.528
