Description
1. Problem Description In this assignment, you have two options (you are supposed to do ONLY ONE of problems, NOT both): Problem 1: You will develop and implement a program that allows the user to i) convert inches to centimeters and ii) convert centimeters to inches.
Problem 12: You will develop and implement a program that allows the user to i) convert Fahrenheit to Celsius and ii) convert Celsius to Fahrenheit.
The primary objective of this assignment is for you to demonstrate use of the branching mechanisms. The program begins by displaying a list of two options presented to the user. The program then displays a prompt asking the user to make a choice. Then, the user is prompted to enter the value to be converted. The program then computes the equivalent value and prints a final line of output containing both values (both the entered and the computed).
Assuming that Problem 1 is chosen, the following outputs were produced by running the program on 3 separate occasions:

Test 2 (On Windows) If the user makes an entry that is not valid, print out a statement that warns the user and terminates the program.
Test 3 (On Windows) Please note, you may design a better user interface for the assignment.
