    furlongs = int(input("How many furlongs? "))  # asking, reading furlongs as an integer
    meters = furlongs * METERS_IN_FURLONG  # converting furlongs into meters
    print("Your", furlongs, "furlongs are", meters, "Meters")  # displaying result


# calling main() method
main()

#output

How many furlongs? 24
Your 24 furlongs are 4828.032 Meters
