Length Conversion Program

Write a program that will read in a length in feet and inches and will output the equivalent length in meters and centimeter. Use at least three functions: one for input, one or more for calculating, and one for output. Include a loop that lets the user repeat this computation for new input values until the user says he wants to end the program. There are meter in a foot, 100 centimeters in a meter, and 12 inches in a foot.
