/* Distance Traveled - The distance a vehicle travels can be calculated as follows:
* distance = speed * time;
For example, if a train travels 40 miles per hour for 3 hours, the distance
traveled is 120 miles.
This program asks the user for the speed of a vehicle (in miles per hour) and
how many hours it has traveled. It then uses a loop to display the distance the
vehicle has traveled for each hour of that time period.
Example Output:
What is the speed the vehicle has traveled in mph? 40
How many hours has it traveled? 3
Hour Distance Traveled
--------------------------
1 40
2 80
3 120
Input Validation: Negative numbers for speed and any value less than 1 for time
traveled are not accepted. */
