I'm reading my drives and folders.
UDED=CAPACITY-FREE
All the answers in bytes.
What's the formula to convert them to Gigs, Megs, or Ks, whichever is appropriate? if amt>gig then if amt>K then if amt>MEG then end if
I am confused by the following:
| Name | A | Bin Pwr | Binary Value | Decimal Power | Decimal Value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kilobyte | KB | 2^10 | 1,024 | 10^3 | 1000 | |
| Megabyte | Mb | 2^20 | 1,048,576 | 10^6 | 1,000.000 | |
| Gigabyte | GB | 2^30 | 1,073,741,825 | 10^9 | 1,000,000,000 | |
| Terabyte | TB | 2^40 | 1,099,511,627,776 | 10^12 | 1,000,000,000,000 |
GIG,MEG,K to represent Binary Values
and gig,meg,k to represent Decimal Values
if amt>GIG then --GIG handling routine elsif amt>MEG then --MEG handling routine elsif amt>K then --K handling routine end if
also I could
if amt>gig then --gig handling routine elsif amt>meg then --meg handling routine elsif amt>k then --k handling routine end if
This is as far as I can get.
I don't know where to start .
