Solution

Here is the corrected Python program:

def convert_cm_to_inch(length_in_cm):
    length_in_inch = length_in_cm / 2.54
    return length_in_inch

length_in_cm = float(input("Enter a length in centimetres: "))
length_in_inch = convert_cm_to_inch(length_in_cm)

print(f"{length_in_cm} cm is {length_in_inch} inches")

Here are the corrections made:

  1. The function convert_cm_to_inch is defined to take one parameter length_in_cm. This function divides length_in_cm by 2.54 and returns the result.

  2. The user is asked to input a length in centimetres. The input function returns a string, so it is converted to a float using the float function.

  3. The user's input is passed to the convert_cm_to_inch function, and the result is stored in length_in_inch.

  4. The result is printed in the format "x cm is y inches", where x is the user's length and y is the result of the function. This is done using an f-string, which allows you to embed expressions inside string literals, using curly braces {}.

Problem StatementAlex is a budding mathematician who loves exploring the properties of different shapes. Recently, Alex wrote a program to calculate and display various parameters of a cube based on its side length. However, Alex finds the code a bit challenging and wishes to make it simpler.Write a program that takes a string as input, converts it to a double using the atof function and strlen for string length measurement, and then calculates and displays the side length, surface area, and perimeter of a cube.Formulae:Surface Area: 6 x side_length2Perimeter: 12 x side_lengthInput format :The input consists of a string representing the side length of the cube. The input should be a double value in string format.Output format :The first line displays a double value, representing side length, formatted to two decimal places.The second displays a double value, representing the surface area of the cube, formatted to two decimal places.The third line displays a double value, representing the perimeter of the cube, formatted to two decimal places.If the input string is more than 9 characters(numbers), it prints "Input string is too long".Refer to the sample output for the formatting specifications.Code constraints :In this scenario, the test cases will fall under the following constraints:The maximum length of the input string is 9 characters.The input string represents a valid double-valueSample test cases :Input 1 :1.678Output 1 :1.6816.8920.14Input 2 :999999999.00Output 2 :Input string is too longInput 3 :4999.6789Output 3 :4999.68149980734.6259996.15
