A Number Converting Program!

Hey guys,

I am creating a cool number converting program that will be able to convert from a variety of different values like Inches to Centimeters or Celsius to Fahrenheit.

I will have a main method that lets the users enter the number they wish to convert and then what base they wish to convert that number to.

I will then have several methods that each will contain algorithms for converting the given number.

So i ask you all here at the Java Forums, what is the best way to go about this? Am i doing it the most efficient way? Are there any things i should be mindful of? etc. Just general advice for my project would be wonderful!

also, i created a method that returns a double value but i don't know how to print it out to the user. do i need to create a separate method for retrieving the returned value?

i can post some of my code if you guys need to look at it or something.

Your way of going about it sounds right.

Perhaps you could post a bit of code so we can see what you mean by:

just put that method call in a System.out.println
