Hi All,
Is there a good way to easily convert between units?
For example, let's say I have a data type:
data Volumes = Teaspoon | Tablespoon | Slice | FluidOunces
... and I want to define an infix function '<+>', which adds together amounts of food:
(1, Slice, cake) <+> (1, Volume Tablespoon, sugar) <+> (32, Volume FluidOunces, almondMilk)
Which would return:
(3200, Teaspoons)
What is the most efficient way to define equivalency/conversion between these measures?
I remember an interesting method for celsius-farenheit conversion in Higher-Order Perl, using function composition, but that was between only 2 units. I'd like something where I don't have to provide n^2 definitions.
Thank you!
Tom
