Metric to English conversion

Picture
Among the many measurement systems available, two seem to be the most widespread: metric and imperial. Imperial is "English measurements.

To make things simpler, we assume that the first one uses the "meter"as its only unit (expressed as a real number), while the second uses the "foot" (always an integer) and the "inch" (a real number).

Your task is to write a simple "measurement converter".

We want it to perform the following actions:
     ask the user which system she/he uses to input data; we assume that 0 means "metric"and 1 means "imperial";
     depending on the user's answer, ask either for meters or feet and inches;
     output the distance in proper (different) units:either in feet and inches or in meters;
​     a result outputted as metric should look like 123.4m;
     a result outputted as imperial should look like 12' 3.5". 

For the conversion mathematical formulas, Click on the picture and check out this page 

Some sample code to get you rolling

#include


using namespace std;

int main()
{
       int sys;
       float m, ft, in;
       // Insert your code here

      return 0;

​ }

To get Inches and feet from meters simply reverse the formula
