Java Fundaments for Kids - Exercise 3
/**
Program that calculates the Average Speed of a Car
I made the program to calculate only the speed that was asked for the exercise. Could have made it to ask the user to introduce its own values but I think thats more complex
than what was aked
*/
public class CarSpeed {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int distance = 100; //distance in meters
int time = 5; //time in seconds
float average = ( (distance/1000) / (time/3600) ); /*distance is by convention given in km/hour. since our variables are in meters and seconds, we have to divide the distance
by 1000 because 1km = 1000 meters and divide the time by 3600 because 1h = 3600 seconds;*/
// Prints the Average Speed in the terminal
System.out.println("The average speed of our car is " + average + " km/h!");
}
