# Converter bot
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This bot allows users to perform conversions for various measurement units.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run this bot as described in [here](http://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/bots-guide.html#how-to-deploy-a-bot).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use this bot with the following command
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`@convert <number> <unit_from> <unit_to>`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will convert `number`, given in the unit `unit_from`, to the unit `unit_to`
|
|
|
|
|
and print the result.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `number` can be any floating-point number, e.g. 12, 13.05, 0.002.
|
|
|
|
|
* `unit_from` and `unit_to` are two units from [the following](#supported-units) table in the same category.
|
|
|
|
|
* `unit_from` and `unit_to` can be preceded by [these](#supported-prefixes) prefixes.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
* Enter `@convert help` to display a quick overview of the converter's functionality.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* For bits and bytes, the prefixes change the figure differently: 1 kilobyte is 1024 bytes,
|
|
|
|
|
1 megabyte is 1048576 bytes, etc.
