Program to Convert Feet to Inches and Inches to Feet

Feet to Inches

Feet, a measurement unit of length can be converted to its lower unit which is inch in this case. One foot is equal 12 inches. The program simply multiply 12 to convert the given foot/feet to inches.
Below are the examples.

Example 1. C program to convert feet to inches

Program

#include <stdio.h>

int main (){
  float feet, inches;
  printf ("\n Please enter a value of feet = ");
  scanf ("%f", &feet);
  inches = feet * 12;
  printf ("\n %.2f feet = %.2f inches \n\t \n", feet, inches);
  return 0;
}

Output:

Please enter a value of feet = 3

3.00 feet = 36.00 inches 
        

Example 2. C program to convert feet to inches using function

program:

#include <stdio.h>

float getInchesFromFeet(float feet);

int main (){
  float feet, inches;
  printf ("\n Please enter a value of feet = ");
  scanf ("%f", &feet);
  inches = getInchesFromFeet(feet);
  printf ("\n %.2f feet = %.2f inches \n\t \n", feet, inches);
  return 0;
}

float getInchesFromFeet(float feet){
    return feet * 12;
}

Output:

Please enter a value of feet = 3

3.00 feet = 36.00 inches 
        

Inches to Feet

We can also convert inches to feet by dividing the input value to 12. Below is the example.

Example 1. C program to convert inches to feet

#include <stdio.h>

int main (){
  float feet, inches;
  printf ("\n Please enter a value of inches = ");
  scanf ("%f", &inches);
  feet = inches / 12;
  printf ("\n %.2f inches = %.2f feet \n\t \n", inches, feet);
  return 0;
}

Output:

Please enter a value of inches = 40

40.00 inches = 3.33 feet 
        

Example 2. C program to convert inches to feet using function

Program: 

#include <stdio.h>

float getFeetFromInches(float x);
int main (){
  float feet, inches;
  printf ("\n Please enter a value of inches = ");
  scanf ("%f", &inches);
  feet = getFeetFromInches(inches);
  printf ("\n %.2f inches = %.2f feet \n\t \n", inches, feet);
  return 0;
}

float getFeetFromInches(float inches){
    return inches/12;
}

Output:

Please enter a value of inches = 30

30.00 inches = 2.50 feet 
       

Program to Convert Yards to Inches and Inches to Yards

Yards to Inches

Yards is another measuring unit that is equivalent to 3 feet.  Inches and feet are both lower measurement units. A yard is equal to 36 inches. We can simply multiply 36 to the given yards for converting them into inches.

Example 1.  C program to convert yards to inches 

Program: 

#include <stdio.h>

int main (){
  float yards, inches;
  printf ("\n Please enter a value of yards = ");
  scanf ("%f", &yards);
  inches = yards * 36;
  printf ("\n %.2f yards = %.2f inches \n\t \n", yards,inches);
  return 0;
}

Output:

Please enter a value of yards = 4

4.00 yards = 144.00 inches 
        

Inches to Yards

In similar way, we can also convert inches to yards by dividing it to 36.

Example 1.  C program to convert inches to yards

Program: 

#include <stdio.h>

int main (){
  float yards, inches;
  printf ("\n Please enter a value of inches = ");
  scanf ("%f", &inches);
  yards = inches / 36;
  printf ("\n %.2f inches = %.2f yards \n\t \n", inches,yards);
  return 0;
}

Output:

Please enter a value of inches = 45

45.00 inches = 1.25 yards 
        

Program to Convert Centimeter to Inches and Inches to Centimeter

Inches to Centimeters

Another measurement unit for length is centimeter. When it comes to relation between centimeter and inches, one inches is equal to 2.54. We can simply multiply 2.54 with the input to calculate the measurement in inches.

Example 1. C program to convert inches to centimeters

Program:

#include <stdio.h>

int main (){
  float cm, inches;
  printf ("\n Please enter a value of inches = ");
  scanf ("%f", &inches);
  cm = inches * 2.54;
  printf ("\n %.2f inches = %.2f cm \n\t \n", inches,cm);
  return 0;
}

Output:

Please enter a value of inches = 5

5.00 inches = 12.70 cm

Example 2. C program to convert inches to centimeters using function

Program:

#include <stdio.h>

float getCmFromInches(float x);

int main (){
  float cm, inches;
  printf ("\n Please enter a value of inches = ");
  scanf ("%f", &inches);
  cm = getCmFromInches(inches);
  printf ("\n %.2f inches = %.2f cm \n\t \n", inches,cm);
  return 0;
}

float getCmFromInches(float inches){
    return inches * 2.54;
}

Output:

Please enter a value of inches = 5

5.00 inches = 12.70 cm 
        

Centimeters to Inches

Likewise, we can also convert centimeters to inches by dividing the input to 2.54.

Example 1. C program to convert centimeters to inches

Program:

#include <stdio.h>

int main (){
  float cm, inches;
  printf ("\n Please enter a value of centimeters = ");
  scanf ("%f", &cm);
  inches = cm/2.54;
  printf ("\n %.2f cm = %.2f inches \n\t \n", cm,inches);
  return 0;
}

Output:

Please enter a value of centimeters = 12.7

12.70 cm = 5.00 inches 
        

Example 2. C program to convert centimeters to inches using functions

Program:

#include <stdio.h>

float getInchesFromCm(float x);

int main (){
  float cm, inches;
  printf ("\n Please enter a value of centimeters = ");
  scanf ("%f", &cm);
  inches = getInchesFromCm(cm);
  printf ("\n %.2f cm = %.2f inches \n\t \n", cm,inches);
  return 0;
}

float getInchesFromCm(float cm){
    return cm/2.54;
}

Output:

Please enter a value of centimeters = 12.7

12.70 cm = 5.00 inches 
        

Program to Convert Meters to Inches and Inches to Meters

Meters to inches

Inches and meters are both length measurement units. One meter is exactly equal to 39.37 inches. Similar to other, we need to divide 39.37 with the given meters to get output in inches.

Example 1. C program to convert meters to inches

Program:

#include <stdio.h>

int main (){
  float meters, inches;
  printf ("\n Please enter a value of meters = ");
  scanf ("%f", &meters);
  inches = meters * 39.37;
  printf ("\n %.2f meters = %.2f inches \n\t \n", meters,inches);
  return 0;
}

Output:

Please enter a value of meters = 5

5.00 meters = 196.85 inches 
        

Example 2. C program to convert meters to inches using functions

Program:

#include <stdio.h>

float getInchesFromMeter(float x);

int main (){
  float meters, inches;
  printf ("\n Please enter a value of meters = ");
  scanf ("%f", &meters);
  inches = getInchesFromMeter(meters);
  printf ("\n %.2f meters = %.2f inches \n\t \n", meters,inches);
  return 0;
}

float getInchesFromMeter(float meters){
    return meters * 39.37;
}

Output:

Please enter a value of meters = 5

5.00 meters = 196.85 inches 

Inches to Meters

To convert inches to meter, we need to divide the input provided as inches to 38.37 to convert it to meters.

Example 1. C program to convert inches to meters

Program:

#include <stdio.h>

int main (){
  float meters, inches;
  printf ("\n Please enter a value of inches = ");
  scanf ("%f", &inches);
  meters = inches / 39.37 ;
  printf ("\n %.2f inches = %.2f meters \n\t \n", inches,meters);
  return 0;
}

Output:

Please enter a value of inches = 100

100.00 inches = 2.54 meters 
        

Example 2. C program to convert inches to meters using function

Program:

#include <stdio.h>

float getMeterFromInches(float x);

int main (){
  float meters, inches;
  printf ("\n Please enter a value of inches = ");
  scanf ("%f", &inches);
  meters =  getMeterFromInches(inches);
  printf ("\n %.2f inches = %.2f meters \n\t \n", inches,meters);
  return 0;
}

float getMeterFromInches(float inches){
    return inches / 39.37;
}

Output:

Please enter a value of inches = 100

100.00 inches = 2.54 meters 

Program to print measurement in inches

Program:

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
float inches,meter,c_meter,yards,foot;
printf("\n Please enter measurement in inches = ");
scanf("%f",&inches);
foot=inches*12;
yards=inches*36;
c_meter=inches*2.54;
meter=inches*39.37;
printf("\n %.2f inches = %.2f foot \n\t\t%.2f yards \n\t\t%.2f centimeter \n\t\t%.2f meter \n",inches,foot,yards,c_meter,meter);
return 0;
}

Output:
