# File: area_2.py - a modification of area.py program

# This program takes length and width of a rectangular room as an input
# (in inches) and outputs the area of the room in square meters.

# For conversion we use the following information:
#  1 inch is 0.0254 meters

def main():

    # getting length input from the user
    l = eval(input("please, input the length of the room in inches :"))
    l_conv = l * 0.0254 # converting to meters

    # getting length input from the user
    w = eval(input("please, input the width of the room in inches :"))
    w_conv = w * 0.0254 # converting to meters
    
    area = l_conv * w_conv # calculating the area of a room, A = W x L
