  • 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 table in the same category.
  • unit_from and unit_to can be preceded by these prefixes.

Notes

  • You can use multiple @convert statements in a message, the response will look accordingly: multiple-converts

  • 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.
