Conversion
Write a program that asks the user to enter a distance in meters. The program will then present the following menu of selections:
- 1. Convert to kilometers
- 2. Convert to inches
- 3. Convert to feet
- 4. Quit the program
The program will convert the distance to kilometers, inches, or feet, depending on the user’s selection. Here are the specific requirements:
- • Write a void method named showKi1ometers, which accepts the number of meters as an argument. The method should display the argument converted to kilometers. Convert the meters to kilometers using the following formula:kilometers = meters * 0.001
- Write a void method named showlnches, which accepts the number of meters as an argument. The method should display the argument converted to inches. Convert the meters to inches using the following formula:inches = meters * 39.37
- Write a void method named showFeet, which accepts the number of meters as an argument. The method should display the argument converted to feet. Convert the meters to feet using the following formula:feet = meters * 3.281
- Write a void method named menu that displays the menu of selections. This method should not accept any arguments.
- The program should continue to display the menu until the user enters 4 to quit the program.
- The program should not accept negative numbers for the distance in meters.
- If the user selects an invalid choice from the menu, the program should display an error message.
Here is an example session with the program, using console input. The user’s input is shown in bold.
Enter a distance in meters: 500 [Enter]
- 1. Convert to kilometers
- 2. Convert to inches
- 3. Convert to feet
- 4. Quit the program
Enter your choice: 1 [Enter]
500 meters is 0.5 kilometers.
- 1. Convert to kilometers
- 2. Convert to inches
- 3. Convert to feet
- 4. Quit the program
Enter your choice: 3 [Enter]
500 meters is 1640.5 feet.
- 1. Convert to kilometers
- 2. Convert to inches
- 3. Convert to feet
- 4. Quit the program
Enter your choice: 4 [Enter]

Retail price calculator
Write a program that asks the user to enter an item’s wholesale cost and its markup percentage. It should then display the item’s retail price. For example:
• If an item’s wholesale cost is 5.00 and its markup percentage is 100 percent, then the item’s retail price is 10.00.• If an item’s wholesale cost is 5.00 and its markup percentage is 50 percent, then the item’s retail price is 7.50.
The program should have a method named calculateRetail that receives the wholesale cost and the markup percentage as arguments and returns the retail price of the item.
Prime Numbers A prime number is a number that can be evenly divided by only itself and 1. For example, the number 5 is prime because it can be evenly divided by only 1 and 5. The number 6, however, is not prime because it can be evenly divided by 1, 2, 3, and 6. Write a Boolean method named IsPrime that takes an integer as an argument and returns true if the argument is a prime number or false otherwise. Use the method in an application that lets the user enter a number and then displays a message indicating whether the number is prime.
Prime Number List
Use the isPrime method that you wrote in Programming Challenge 13 in a program that prompts the user to enter an integer number, then displays all prime numbers less than the user number separated by a space.

Ex: If the inputs are: 5 7 the method returns: 7 Ex: If the inputs are: -8 -2 the method returns: -8 Note: The method does not just return the largest value, which for -8 -2 would be -2. Though not necessary, you may use the absolute-value built-in math method.

- QUESTION 2 A prime number is a number that is evenly divisible only by itself and 1. For example, the number 5 is prime because it can be evenly divided only by 1 and 5. The number 6, however, is not prime because it can be divided evenly by 1, 2, 3, and 6. Write a method named isPrime, which takes an integer as an argument and returns true if the argument is a prime number, or false otherwise. Demonstrate the method in a complete program. Tip: Recall that the % operator divides one number by another, and returns the remainder of the division. In an expression such as num1 % num2, the % operator will return 0 if num1 is evenly divisible by num2.

- Java Your program will read in a credit card number and expiration date from the user and validate the data. The program will continue to ask for user input until a valid number and date are entered. The rules for what is valid are specified below. readYear() and readMonth(int) methods Complete the readYear() and readMonth(int) methods. These methods ask the user to input the expiration year and month of their credit card. Each method should contain a loop inside the method so the code repeats until a valid month or year is entered by the user. If the user enters an invalid year or month, print an error message and ask them to try again. The readMonth(int) method reads in the month as a number. A valid month is any number between 1 and 12 (inclusive). A valid year is 2022 or later. readCreditCardNumber() method Complete the readCreditCardNumber() method.
