With this system you always work in lineal measures in meters (double), 
and you can input others (inches, centimeters)

input system - intermediate system -out system

you can input in a entry for example (22m, 22 m, 220cm,...) and 
internally you have a double always in meters.

How do you deal with precision? 22 m is not the same as 22.000 m

Bad example.  22 can be expressed exactly in 2s complement.  3 cannot.
