Code Description:

In this example we have taken a table of units as Gallons, Liters, Miles, Carats, Meters etc to convert them to another units. First of all it will ask to enter a choice then it will convert the unit. For the conversion process we have used convertGallonsToLtrs();, convertMetersToMiles();,
convertLtrsToGallons();, convertCaratsToGrams(); etc. For the choice of entries we have used switch case here. At last we have applied the formulae for all the conversions as shown in the program.

We have also used conditional-OR operator to select the choice as 1,2 and so on. This means that the choice should be between 1 to 5 only. To take the input of the choice for TableChoice from the keyboard we have used the same method i.e Integer.parseInt(bf.readLine());.

Here is the code of this program:

public class UnitConverter1{
  BufferedReader bf;
  public static void main (String[] argsthrows Exception{
