Converting the height of a person from feet and inches to centimeters

[SpookyTooth]

I am trying to write a program that will convert a height of a person from feet and inches to centimeters. I want to use the relationship: 1 foot = 30.48 cm and 1 inch = 2.54 cm. I am trying to get the output in a form of a table where the left column would contain the height of the person in feet and inches from like 4'5" to 6'5" (with an increment of 1 inch), and the right column will contain the corresponding height in centimeters. The program will perform a conversion with the help of a function: void Conversion (int, int); The function has to be called from the for loop from the function main(). Since there is no return value, each portion of information will be printed inside the function.

Any help with this program would be much appreciated. I am new to the C programming language.

The general advice I would give is that while people on this forum are willing to help you with your problems very few of us are willing to actually do your homework for you.

Post an attempt at the answer and we will help you sort out the problems.

I suggest as a start you look up

for loops
the printf function with reference to string formating
basic maths operators + - * /

Well, this is what I have so far. I kind of puzzled as to what is the next step I should take? Should I write a for loop?

#include<stdio.h>

int main ()

void Conversion(int feet, int inches) {
int total_inches = 12*feet + inches;
float total_centimeters = 2.54*total_inches;
printf("%d\'%d\" %.0f cm\n", feet, inches, total_centimeters);
}

To clarify from before, all I have is the conversion function. I am puzzled about the main program.

#include<stdio.h>

int main ()
{
int feet = 4;
int inches = 5;
int total_inches = feet + inches;
scanf("%d", total_inches);

for (total_inches = 53; total_inches < 78; total_inches++) {
++total_inches; }
}

void Conversion(int feet, int inches) {
int total_inches = 12*feet + inches;
float total_centimeters = 2.54*total_inches;
printf("%d\'%d\" %.0f cm\n", feet, inches, total_centimeters);
}
