And Rust said, "Let there be units".

Hurray! Now you can work with units of measure in a headache-free way.

Currently available units:

• Length
• Temperature
• Weight

Example

In your Cargo.toml...

[dependencies] measurements = "^0.2.0"

In your code...

```rust extern crate measurements;

use measurements::{Length, Temperature, Weight};

let footballfield = Length::fromyards(100.0); let meters = footballfield.asmeters(); println!("There are {} meters in a football field.", meters);

let boilingwater = Temperature::fromcelsius(100.0); let fahrenheit = boilingwater.asfahrenheit(); println!("Boiling water measures at {} degrees fahrenheit.", fahrenheit);

let metricton = Weight::frommetrictons(1.0); let unitedstatestons = metricton.asshorttons(); let unitedstatespounds = metricton.aspounds(); println!("One metric ton is {} U.S. tons - that's {} pounds!", unitedstatestons, unitedstatespounds); ```

I am by no means a measurement or math expert, I simply wanted to do something useful while learning Rust. Thank you to these sites and their authors for the great reference material used in building this library.
