# Prompt the user to enter the distance in kilometers using input(), the 
# function will return the text entered by the user as a string, convert that 
# string to a float value with float() and store it into kilometers (so that we 
# can perform mathematical operations with the value).
kilometers = float(input("Kilometers: "))

# Convert the distance to miles and store it into the variable miles using the 
# formula: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilometre
miles = 0.621371 * kilometers

# Output the text "Miles:" followed by the value in the variable miles
print("Miles:", miles)
 
# Alternatively, we could use an f-string to output the miles with 
# 2 decimal digits of precision with .2 and in fixed-point notation with .2f
print(f"Miles: {miles:.2f}")
