Units of length conversion

Contributions to this software library are always welcome. Please ensure that you post program listings rather than .raw files. They give a reasonable idea of what your program does without having to load them into a DM42 and you can also include comments in your code. Check out the following link for a decoder/encoder: https://technical.swissmicros.com/decoders/dm42/

You can then copy/paste the listing and post it in "code" tags.

Units of length conversion

Post by PKeller »

"length" is just a simple program to convert between different units of length.

It consists of 7 menus through which one can cycle:

Menu 1: SI meter, angstrom, micrometer, millimeter, centimeter, kilometer
Menu 2: Imperial: inch, foot, yard, furlong, mile, nautical mile
Menu 3: Astronomical: light-second, astronomical unit, light year, parsec, Hubble length, attoparsec
Menu 4: Physics: Stoney unit of length, Planck length, QCD unit of length, electron radius, atomic unit, electronvolt length
Menu 5: Modern Chinese: cùn, chǐ, bù, zhàng, yǐn, lǐ
Menu 6: Ancient Roman: digitus, cubitum, passus, stadium, mille passus, leuga
Menu 7: Klingon: uj, uj'a, qeli'qam, loghqam

For example, If one wants to know how many meters are in 5 parsecs, one goes to the first menu and clicks on 'm'. Then one cycles down to menu 3, types the number 5 and clicks on 'pc'.

To set another reference unit, click on "m" again and then go to another unit and click on it to make it the new reference.

Clicking on 'arrow up' or 'arrow down' cycles through the menus, and 'EXIT' cleans up the flag and variables and ends the program.

The program uses registers 00 to 06 and 10 to 17.

In my professional experience, 1 muggeseggele is a fraction of 1 µm.

As a physicist, I'm looking forward to learn about the contents of Menu 4.

But Menu 1 looks a bit boring, doesn't it? And shoudn't it read MILLE PASSVVM in Menu 6?

My father was a tool and die maker, and he has until today an almost daily use of a local variation of it: a Muggeseckel. It's not very precise, but it's not measurable for him but existing.

Not being a German speaker, and certainly unfamiliar with idiom from Swabia (where is that anyhow) I had to look this up. :)

Somewhat surprised at the depth of the Wikipedia article (it cites 17 references!) I now feel just a tiny bit more educated than I was before.

Thank you gentlemen for the diversion. :lol:

Thanks a lot, Bob. :lol: I've read the article in English, German, and Alemannian language - all three are different. And yes, actually I know that company with its Indian premises quite well and can confirm the statement based on personal experience. 8-)

EDIT: At that time, you could hear locals calling some original Swabian terms at two sites in Portugal as well. Funny in a way. Culture export.

As a German physicist, I am ashamed I wasn't aware of the unit of Muggseggele... :)

However, this prog was just what I was looking for w/reg of astronomical units. Was about to write one myself...

Salve, propinqui!

Qapla'!
