  5.  * COMPUTE DISTANCE TRAVELLED IN MEDIUM
  6.  * ____________________________________________________________
  7.  * This program takes input on which medium to calculate. It then
  8.  * uses the speed of sound within that medium to calculate the
  9.  * distance travelled based on the user input.
  10.  * ____________________________________________________________
  11.  * INPUT
  12.  * choice        : choice from 1-4 to choose medium
  13.  * time          : the amount of time sound travels in medium
  14.  *
  15.  * OUTPUT
  16.  * distance      : amount of meters sound travelled through the medium
