Educational?
This should be in the Education category.
nope
not really. i mean i guess you could memorize conversion learn from it that way, but it is a tool or Utility in the same way a calculator is
Calculators aren't utilities.
Calculators are used in virtually every school. Unit conversion is taught in school as well.
To me, utilities are things like disk defrag and resource tweaking.
Auto Currency Update
Is it possible to get this program to automatically update currencies ?
no
it doesn't convert currency, only units of measurement
C -> F ok but F -> C = 5.6843419E-014
Nice program!
However, when I convert from Farenheit to Celcius 32F degrees give a result of 5.6843419E-014.
C to F gives 32.
_
well e-14 means it's 0.000000000000056843419 . which is pretty much zero. not sure but i'm guessing that's the precise conversion, but we just say 32F is 0C just to make it an easy round number.
Tc = (5/9)*(Tf-32)
Tc = (5/9)*(Tf-32)
You're not sure, you're guessing, you're guessing wrongly. The calculation is imprecise according to the definition. This app should improve its' rounding.
Problem Found
Awesome tool, however, it doesn't convert everything correctly. EX. Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice-versa is wrong.
there's no problem
no, it's not wrong. if you read the explanation i gave right above your post you'll see that "e-14" means move the decimal place 14 decimals to the left which makes it practically 0; it's just more precise answer than a rounded "0".
in the future, post these sort of problems in the forums.
LOL
Fine enough but I gotta go with DreymaR, improve your rounding. A precise answer is fine, but only if people understand it. If we'd seen 0 instead of e-14 we wouldn't be having this conversation now would we.
