Hello,
I have the following three types:
type Length is new Float;
type Time is new Float;
type Speed is new Float;
Suppose I need to compute a speed given a length and a time.
L: Length := 100.0;
T: Time := 10.0;
S: Speed;
How to do that ?
With S := Speed(Float(L) / Float(T)) ? Mmmm ... not nice.
With S := Speed(L / Length(T)), I am also not satisfy as I convert a
time in Length ...
I am sure you have better ideas !
Good weekend,
Olivier
