4. On your own, create a Java program to solve the Chapter 2 Programming Exercise 2.3 (Converting feet into meters) on page 75 of your textbook. Use an approach that gets input from the console and displays output to the console.
a. Create the source code file, Feet2Meters.java. Add a block comment at the top of the file to identify your name, file, date, class, assignment, and short description of the program. (8 points)
public class Feet2Meters {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Enter foot
java.util.Scanner input = new java.util.Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter a value for feet: ");
double feet = input.nextDouble();
double meter = feet * 0.305;
System.out.println(feet + " feet is " + meter + " meters");
}
}
b. Compile the source code until no errors are found. The Java bytecode file Feet2Meters.class should be created.
javac Feet2Meters.java
• Common Errors: http://www.cs.armstrong.edu/liang/intro9e/debug.html
• Setting the Environment Variable (See Section 1.3.1; our path is C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_XX\bin): http://www.cs.armstrong.edu/liang/intro9e/supplement/Supplement1bInstallingJDK7.pdf
c. Run the Java bytecode and observe the results.

d. Attach a printout of your source code.
e. Attach a printout of your sample output. (2 points)
