How to approach this program?
Hi,
I'm reading C++ Primer Plus 5th Ed., and I got stuck on one of its excercises:
Write a program that asks the user to enter a latitude in degrees, minutes, and seconds
and that then displays the latitude in decimal format. There are 60 seconds of arc to a
minute and 60 minutes of arc to a degree; represent these values with symbolic constants.
You should use a separate variable for each input value. A sample run should
look like this:
Enter a latitude in degrees, minutes, and seconds:
First, enter the degrees: 37
Next, enter the minutes of arc: 51
Finally, enter the seconds of arc: 19
37 degrees, 51 minutes, 19 seconds = 37.8553 degrees

The formula to find the resulting degrees from user's input, and how to define that formula as a constant(s).
