C#: Calculate the speed in kilometres and miles per hour from distance and time

C# Sharp Basic Data Types: Exercise-7 with Solution

Write a C# Sharp program that takes distance and time as input and displays speed in kilometres per hour and miles per hour.

Sample Solution:-

C# Sharp Code:

using System;

public class Exercise7
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        // Declare variables to store distance, time in hours, minutes, and seconds
        float distance;
        float hour, min, sec;

        // Declare variables to store time in seconds, speed in meters/sec, km/h, and miles/h
        float timeSec;
        float mps;
        float kph, mph;

        // Input distance in meters
        Console.Write("Input distance (metres): ");
        distance = Convert.ToSingle(Console.ReadLine());

        // Input time in hours, minutes, and seconds
        Console.Write("Input time (hour): ");
        hour = Convert.ToSingle(Console.ReadLine());
        Console.Write("Input time (minutes): ");
        min = Convert.ToSingle(Console.ReadLine());
        Console.Write("Input time (seconds): ");
        sec = Convert.ToSingle(Console.ReadLine());

        // Calculate total time in seconds
        timeSec = (hour * 3600) + (min * 60) + sec;

        // Calculate speed in meters per second, kilometers per hour, and miles per hour
        mps = distance / timeSec;
        kph = (distance / 1000.0f) / (timeSec / 3600.0f);
        mph = kph / 1.609f;

        // Display the calculated speeds
        Console.WriteLine("Your speed in meters/sec is {0}", mps);
        Console.WriteLine("Your speed in km/h is {0}", kph);
        Console.WriteLine("Your speed in miles/h is {0}", mph);
    }
}

Sample Output:

Input distance(metres): 10000                                                                                 
Input timeSec(hour): 1                                                                                        
Input timeSec(minutes): 35                                                                                    
Input timeSec(seconds): 5                                                                                     
Your speed in metres/sec is 1.752848                                                                          
Your speed in km/h is 6.310254                                                                                
Your speed in miles/h is 3.921849
