Re: [jallib] English (function) question

 Hi Rob,
I wanted to suggest to name the functions after the return data type. I never 
use floats, so if I would have a function called "fine", it would return a 
length in mm (metric) or mils (=1/1000 inch imperial)
Even if you would return a length in micrometers, a dword would suffice for a 
range of over 4 kilometers, still by a smaller overhead than using a float.

 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 isfunction 
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

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 isfunction 
hcsr04_get_distance_inch_coarse()return word isfunction 
hcsr04_get_distance_cm_fine()return float isfunction 
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
