Acres should be converted to km^2, hectares, or m^2 #31

metric_units is a sassy reddit bot that finds imperial units, and replies with a metric conversion.

Currently, acres are always converted to km^2 (1 acre = 0.00404686 km ^2) Enhancement request: Acres should be converted to km^2, hectares, or m^2 (preferring to use the largest unit possible without using decimal places) See conversion_helper.js to get started

Recommended skills: Basic javascript Estimated time: 30 minutes

Sweet! Let me know if you need any help! P.S. I love your username

You want it just to be m^2 or hectares and never use km^2?

cannawen commented 7 years ago

km^2 should still be used for values of over 1 km^2. Sorry the story was unclear, I'll edit it now!
