Calculations with the Metric System.

Post by lrcvs »

Hello everyone:

The program: (function metric) is to make calculations with the Metric System.

Can be calculated:

Linear measures: Meters, Liters, Kilograms

Measures surface/areas: Meters2

Measures of capacity: Meters3

We need to know where we stand and where we want to go.

The position values are:
1 mm
2 cm
3 dm
4 Mt
5 Dm
6 Hm
7 Km
8 Mm

The values of "System" are:

1>> Linear: Meters, Liters, Kilograms

2>> Surface / areas

3>> Volumes


Must be given values, which are:
"Value", "Initial Position", "End Position", "System" (where we are).


Example:

Mts 1234 >>> Km

Quantity / Value: This is the value that we estimate: 1234

Initial position is "m" = 4

End position is "km" = 7

System = 1

Print metric (1234, 4, 7, 1)


Program to calculate how many are Kg 2468 >>> mg

Print Metric (2468,1,7,1)


Program to calculate how many Liters are 4 Hectolitres

Print Metric (4,6,4,1)


Program to calculate Surface or areas

Example: 45 Km2 >> cm2

Print Metric (45,7,2,2)


Program to calculate how many are mm3 are 12 Mt3

Print Metric (12,4,1,3)


...............................................................

Function metric (cant, i, f, ti)
'lrcvs 09.05.09
'cant = value
'i = init position
'f = end position
'ti = system
Dim r, d As Double
r = 0
d = (ti * (Abs(i - f)))
If i > f Then r = cant * 10 ^ d
If i < f Then r = cant / 10 ^ d
If i = f Then r = cant
metric = r
End Function
