How to implement a unit converter in java
- by Mohit Deshpande
How could I possibly implement a unit converter in Java??? I was thinking of having a abstract base class:
public abstract class Unit
{
...
public void ConvertTo(Unit unit);
}
Then having each class like Meter Kilometer Inch Centimeter Millimeter ... derive from that base Unit class. All the units of length would be in a package called com.unitconverter.distance, then a package, com.unitconverter.energy, for energy etc. etc. So is this the best way to implement a unit converter? Or is there a better or more easier way?
