Project Concept – programming

Poochus LC

This program estimates the number of tiles that will be used to cover a certain floor area
accounting the grout gaps as well. It prompts the user to input a certain floor area or the
dimensions of a certain area (length and width), size of the gaps for the grouts, dimensions of
the tiles to be used, and individual cost per tile. The user will have an option to change the
system of measurements between meters, centimeters, inches, and feet, and the program will
automatically convert when a difference in units is observed. The program will then give the
estimated number of tiles that will cover the given area (considering the grouts) and the
estimated total cost for the materials. It is useful when deciding for the tiling plans, whether
floors or walls, of a structure as it can give you an estimated total cost. It allows users to weigh
in different tiles to use for their rooms and how much area to cover as it allows them to
compare costs – by either using smaller, cheaper but more tiles or bigger, more expensive but
fewer tiles. The choice is up to them.
