#include
using namespace std;
const double m_to_k = 1.609;
inline int convert(int mi) {return (mi * m_to_k);}
int main(){
int miles;
do{
cout<<"Input your miles: ";
cin >>miles;
if (miles == 1.609){
cout<<"1 mile." < }
else{
cout <<"\nDistance is " << convert(miles) << " km." < }
}while(miles > 0) ;
return(0);
}

when i input 1.609 i get an infitine loop that continues until i manually close the program

"if (miles == 1.609){

cout <<"\nDistance is " << convert(miles) << " km." < }
}while(miles > 0) ;
return(0);
} "
What if you get rid of the If, and instead converting in Else, just Convert whatever the user inputs?
Besides, why are you using a loop?
I think you just need to do the procedure once, you could use a loop when asking the user if he'd like to convert a different measure...
Hmn?
