How do you write a java program that converts kilograms to pounds?

Answer 1

/*POUNDS TO KILOGRAMS FORMULA

* Divide the amount in pounds by 2.2 to determine the amount in kilograms.

*

*KILOGRAMS TO POUNDS FORMULA

* Multiply the amount in pounds by 2.2 to determine the amount in pounds

*/

package poundstokilo;

import java.util.Scanner;

public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

double pounds, kilo;

System.out.println("Enter a number in pounds");

pounds = input.nextDouble();

kilo = (pounds / 2.2);

System.out.println(pounds + " pounds is " + kilo + " kilograms");

}

Answer 2

I suggest you write a method of a class; the class might be called "conversions", the specific method might be called "kilogramsToPounds()". Or just define constants (final fields - I suggest they also be static) in the class, and use them to multiply - the constant might be called something like poundsPerKilogram.
