Weight

Library of weight conversion functions.

Description

Weight.h is a library containing weight conversion functions.

Open for additions, including obscure weight metrics or weight related math functions and constants.

Interface

Overview of conversions:

          stone - lbs - ounce
            |      |      |
           kilo   kilo - gram


           kilo - (stone, lbs, ounce)

Functions are straightforward.

• float lbs2kilo(float lbs)
• float kilo2lbs(float kilos)
• float ounce2gram(float ounce)
• float gram2ounce(float gram)
• float gram2kilo(float gram)
• float kilo2gram( float kilo)
• float lbs2ounce(float lbs)
• float ounce2lbs(float ounce)
• float stone2lbs(float stone)
• float lbs2stone(float lbs)
• float stone2kilo(float stone)
• float kilo2stone(float kilo)
• float US2metric(float stone, float lbs, float ounce)
• float metric2US(float kilo, float &stone, float &lbs, float &ounce)

Operation

Future

must

• improve documentation

should

• a class like the temperature convertor and pressure convertor
  • internally grams?
  • getters setters

could

• create data types of stone lbs kilo etc.?

won't (unless)

• large masses - sun planets ? (see relativity library)
• gravity constants of planets REL or ABS eg REL_GRAVITY_EARTH 1.0
• mass of all elements
  • an array of floats
  • a compressed format with access function (1 byte/ element)
  • constants e.g. MASS_OXYGEN
  • separate periodicTable.h file ?
• molarity functions
• mass of common substances.
• teaspoon
  • that is a volume unit.
  • volume conversion too?
