hansolo / converter Goto Github PK

Nice lib! Would be helpful to document the units in README as well:

Cheers

Converter volumeConverter_m3 = new Converter(VOLUME, CUBIC_METER);
        double meter = 3.0;
        double liter = volumeConverter_m3.convert(meter, LITER);
        System.out.println("liter :: " + liter);
        System.out.println("liter :: " + BigDecimal.valueOf(liter).toPlainString());

This conversion showing result
liter :: 3.0000000000000005E-6
liter :: 0.0000030000000000000005

But from Google unit conversion it should be :

Is there a way to get the DATA conversions to calculate from the different definitions that exist where in some cases, k = 1000 and in others, k = 1024? I realize that the formal definition is 1024 but all file systems don't necessarily use the formal definition, so it would be nice to have the library be settable to one or the other.

change 'MACH(new Unit(Category.SPEED, "M", "Mach", new BigDecimal("0.00293866995797")))'
to 'MACH(new Unit(Category.SPEED, "M", "Mach", new BigDecimal("343")))'

and change 'HORSEPOWER(new Unit(Category.WORK, "hp", "Horsepower", new BigDecimal("735.49875"))),'
to 'HORSEPOWER(new Unit(Category.WORK, "hp", "Horsepower", new BigDecimal("745.699872"))),'

really like the script - really helpful.
Can you add this to the main maven repo?

the factor is incorrect, current is 0.4472271914, however, should be 0.44704
current:
MILES_PER_HOUR(new Unit(Category.SPEED, "mph", "Miles per hour", new BigDecimal("0.4472271914")))
should be : MILES_PER_HOUR(new Unit(Category.SPEED, "mph", "Miles per hour", new BigDecimal("0.44704")))
