A space shuttle measured the distance between earth and Mars as a very large integer number of centimeters. Write a C++ program that reads such distance as centimeters and displays the kilometers, meters and centimeters equivalent.

What do you have so far. We will not do your work for you. Converting centimeters to meters and kilometers is a pretty simple process. I will give you a hint though. Since you are going to be dealing with very large numbers you should do this with strings instead of number types.

you could have googled and produced... 1km = 1000m, 1m = 100cm, 1km = 100,000cm. So then...

int iCentimeters = /*Whatever space shuttle records in cm*/;
int iMeters = int(iCentimeters / 100);
int iKilometers = int(iMeters / 1000);

The int() will cast away the floating point result. Now just output it to screen. Use float for a more accurate result. Have a go...
