using namespace Units::Convert;

double distance(double number, units from_unit, units to_unit)

Overview

The standard measurement units are:

Unit names	Alternate names / spellings	Abbreviation	Enumeration Code	Conversion Rate (relative to first unit)
Distance
Meter	metre	m	unit_m	1
Feet	Foot	ft	unit_ft	3.280839895
Furlongs	Furlong	fur	unit_fur	0.00497097
Inches	Inch	in	unit_in	39.37007874
Light years	Lightyears	ly	unit_ly	1.06E-16
Miles	Miles	mile	unit_mile	0.000621371
Nautical Miles	Nautical Mile	nmile	unit_nmile	0.000539957
Parsecs	Parsec	psc	unit_psc	3.24E-17
Yards	Yard	yd	unit_yd	1.093613298

FUNCTION

distance

Converts a distance from one unit to another.

Example 1

#include <iostream>
#include <codecogs/units/convert/distance.h>

using namespace Units::Convert::Distance;
int main()
{
  std::cout << "distance(10.2,unit_m, unit_ft)=" << distance(10.2,unit_m, unit_ft);

  return 0;
}

Output:

distance(10.2,unit_m, unit_ft)= 33.46456693

Parameters

number

the value in from_unit 's to convert

from_unit

an enumerated value of the initial distance type

to_unit

an emuerated value of the output distance type

Returns

the value in the converted unit.
