Hi Vasile,

Thanks 🙂

I just came up with another idea. Using a float value makes the library big in 
ROM size (it easily adds 600 byte of ROM or more) and I only need one decimal.

So I have another idea and that is return the distance in mm. In that case I 
only need a word as return value.

So now I have only two functions:
function hcsr04_get_distance_mili_meter() return word is
function hcsr04_get_distance_mili_inch() return word is

I only do not know if mili-inch is an English term. Would like to know that.

Or should I use tens_of_cm and tens_of_inch?

Thanks.

Kind regards,

Rob

For a non-native English speaker like me, the function names are perfect!

Hi all.

I have a question for English native speakers. I am working on a library for 
the HC-SR04 ultrasonic ranging module.

I have functions that return the distance in cm and inch.

My question is the following. One of the functions returns a word so the 
distance is without a decimal, so 2 cm, 5 inch, etc. The other function returns 
a float so the distance is with a decimal, so 3.5 cm, 5.1 inch.

I am looking for a good name for these functions. I now have the following 
names but I am wondering if there is a better name for them:

function hcsr04_get_distance_cm_coarse() return word is
function hcsr04_get_distance_inch_coarse() return word is
function hcsr04_get_distance_cm_fine() return float is
function hcsr04_get_distance_inch_fine() return float is

So I am looking for  a better name for these functions. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Kind regards,

Rob
