Mastering Kilometers to Miles Conversion with JavaScript

Introduction

In this lab, we will explore JavaScript programming and learn how to write code that converts kilometers to miles. The lab will focus on teaching the formula for the conversion and how to implement it in code using JavaScript. By the end of the lab, you will have a better understanding of how to use JavaScript to perform calculations and solve problems.

Kilometers to Miles Conversion

To convert kilometers to miles using code, follow these steps:

Open the Terminal/SSH and type node to start practicing coding.

Use the conversion formula mi = km * 0.621371.

Write the following code snippet:

const kmToMiles = (km) => km * 0.621371;

Call the function with the desired kilometer value as an argument, for example:

kmToMiles(8.1); // 5.0331051

This will return the converted value in miles.
