convert

import"atomicgo.dev/convert"

Package convert contains many functions for converting between different go types and units.

package main
import ()
funcmain() {
}

Index

• func Length(value float64, from, to LengthUnit) float64
• type LengthUnit

func Length

funcLength(valuefloat64, from, toLengthUnit) float64

Length converts a length value from one unit to another.

Warning: Due to the nature of floating point arithmetic, the result may not be exact for some conversions. Do not use this package for rocket science.

package main
import (
"fmt""atomicgo.dev/convert"
)
funcmain() {
result:=convert.Length(1, convert.Inch, convert.Centimeter)
fmt.Println(result)
}

Output

type LengthUnit

LengthUnit represents a conversion factor to meters.

typeLengthUnitfloat64

Length units define conversion factors for common distance units.
