Unit Conversion System - Class Design & Implementation

The document outlines the design and implementation of a flexible unit conversion system that allows users to convert between various units such as length, weight, and volume. It emphasizes key object-oriented concepts like classes, inheritance, and polymorphism, detailing the class structure, program architecture, and C# code implementation. Future improvements include expanding unit types, enhancing error handling, and developing a graphical user interface for better user experience.

User Input
The user provides the input value and units.

The converted value is displayed to the user.
Detailed Design: Pseudo
Code Implementation
// Input: value, fromUnit, toUnit
// Create Unit objects from fromUnit and toUnit
// result = fromUnit.convertTo(toUnit, value)
// Output: result

This pseudocode outlines the basic conversion process. It involves


creating unit objects. The code then calls the convertTo method.

public class Unit {

public double convertTo(Unit target, double value) {

This shows the C# implementation. A Unit class handles conversions. The convertTo method performs the calculation. Testing
