Questions:
Create an appropriate user interface
You've just started a new semester and you've become friends with one of your classmates, Tomislav. Tomislav tells you he has just moved to the United States from Europe and he's having a difficult time adjusting to the English units of measurement. In his country, most liquids are measured in liters, not gallons.
Tomislav tells you that he's been having an especially hard time buying gasoline, since he doesn't have much of an idea how much a gallon is. He also mentions he's having a tough time understanding how much is in a pint.
Since you got an 'A' in your last Visual Basic .NET course, you volunteer to write Tomislav an application to convert liters into pints and gallons.
