Question

Create a measurement converter project that can convert between grams, ounces, pounds

and kilograms. Be sure to include the driver class.

The constants for conversion are:

        1 ounce = 28.35 grams

       16 ounces = 1 pound

        1 kg = 1000 grams

Write a class definition file named WeightConverter that has these fields:

weightInOunces

weightInPounds

weightInGrams

weightInKiloGrams

The class also needs the three constant fields for the conversions as listed above.

Write the following methods:

Two constructor methods:

The default constructor sets all the field values to zero except the constant. The constant

is set using the conversion given above.

The overloaded constructor accepts a value for the weight of an item in pounds and

calculates the values for the remaining three fields.

Write four set( ) methods that allows the user to change any measure (setOunces,

setPounds, setGrams, setKiloGrams) The set methods must ensure all the fields are

consistent.

Write four get( ) methods. One get method for each of the four fields (not including the

constants.

Write a driver class that has the main( ) method. This main method should provide the

following utility:

Create an instance of the WeightConverter class using the default values.

Write a loop that allows the user to reset any of the measures. Ask the user to enter which

measure to change, read in the value and call the appropriate set method. Then print the

value of each of the four fields. This process continues until the user indicates he/she

wants to quit.  

Once the loop exits, print a Goodbye message.
