1 Tonne = 1000 Kg
1 Kg = 1000 Gr
1 dozen = 12 pieces

Hope it helps :)

For each of these units, write a function that takes an argument (the original value) and returns the converted value:

C#

float TonnesToKilograms(float tonnes)
{
    return tonnes * 1000;
}
// ... and so on

And, whenever you need to do a conversion in your application, just call one of these functions like this:

C#

int kg = TonnesToKilograms(1.5); // but with an actual value passed in rather than 1.5

Solution 2

Set up an input control - a NumericUpDown is a good choice - and use that to get the user value to convert.
Then,
To Convert Tonnes To Kilograms : multiply by 1000
To Convert dozen To pic : work out what a "pic" is, find out the conversion rate, and multiply by that
To Convert kilograms To grams : multiply by 1000

Then use a control or a MessageBox to display the converted value

But this your homework, so I'll give you no code!

I suppose pic = pieces?

OriginalGriff 4-Aug-17 2:13am

I'm guessing so, but ... who knows?

Nelek 4-Aug-17 2:19am

Yeah... with such a questioner skills, one never knows

how to write Query for this......???

OriginalGriff 4-Aug-17 3:30am

You are going to have to elaborate on that: we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - we only get exactly what you type to work with.
And the concept of "Query" doesn't really exist in C#, that's more a database thing which doesn't seem very applicable in this project.

Why do you need a query?

Stop trying to type as little as possible, and explain in detail exactly what you need help with: the better your question, the better our responses can be.

Imagine you are in the middle of nowhere, and your car breaks down. You call the garage, and when they answer you saw "my car don't work" and hang up. How long do you think you are going to be sitting there before they arrive with the right parts to fix your car?
That's what you are doing to us: you aren't giving us any actual information which lets us help you.

Perhaps he's from Laconia. Then you guys are in trouble because This. Is. Sparta!

BillWoodruff 4-Aug-17 6:12am

Laconia was an area in the south-west of Sparta; so it is a contradiction in terms to imply terseness is not a characteristic of Spartans qua class. :) The word comes into English from (classical) Greek in the 16th. century CE

OriginalGriff 4-Aug-17 6:18am

And besides, I am Spartacus!
