The conversion operator `to` converts its left argument to the *unit* of its right argument, ignoring its value. For example, `5m to mi` and `5m to 10mi` are identical.
|

|
||||
|
||||
## Celsius and Fahrenheit
|
||||
|
||||
Celsius and Fahrenheit are not supported as first-class units because they require an offset when converting from other temperature units. This leads to ambiguity when adding units, since one temperature must be seen as a *difference* rather than an absolute temperature.
|
||||
|
||||
Daisy instead provides four functions (`fromCelsius`, `toCelsius`, `fromFahrenheit`, `toFahrenheit`) which convert between scalars and Kelvin.
|
||||
- "from" functions take a scalar and return a value in Kelvin: `fromCelsius(0) = 273.15K`
|
||||
- "to" functions take a value in Kelvin and return a scalar: `toCelsius(273.15 K) = 0`
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Multiplication Order
|
||||
|
||||
Implicit multiplication has a higher priority than division. `pi/2 radians` will parse as `pi/(2 radians)`. Type `(pi/2) radians` or `pi/2 * radians` to get 90 degrees.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Inline Assignment
|
||||
|
||||
The assignment operator `=` returns its value, and can thus be used inside of an expression. For example, `(a = 2) + 2` assigns `a` to `2` and returns `4`. This only works for variable assignment.
