Instructions
Objective
Write an ARM program Convert miles to kilometres in ARM assembly language.
Requirements and Specifications
- In the file libConversions.s you will implement two functions. Note the function signatures (order of arguments) must be maintained. Hours must be the first argument to kph!
- The first function is miles2kilometer(int miles), which will convert kilometers to miles by multiplying by 100 and dividing by 166. (Put in a comment why we multiply by 100, then divide by 166. Suggest how even greater precision could be achieved using this method for integer numbers).
- The second function is kph(int hours, int miles), and must be calculated by calling function miles2kilometers to convert the miles to kilometers, and then dividing by hours.
- Write an assembly language assignment program to prompt for and read the values of miles and hours, and print out the mph.
- Write the functions CToF and InchesToFt and add it to the conversions.s file. Write a main program to call it and test it.

# We multiply times 100 in order to move the decimal point two positions

# conversion of 1 mile to kilometers.
# The division by 100 is used to get the correct decimal point position:
# km = x mile * (161 km/mile) / 100 = x * 1.61 km
# If we need more precision we can multiply by a larger power of 10, for
# example 10000, thus the decimal point will be moved 4 positions to the left
