Ounces to Grams: Quick Framework

1. Core Formula

g = oz ร— 28.349523125 (exact avoirdupois). Reverse: oz = g รท 28.349523125.

2. Flow

  1. Read numeric input (default 0 if blank).
  2. Multiply / divide by constant.
  3. Format: choose precision (4โ€“7 dec) depending on use.

3. Sanity Checks

  • Disallow negative weights unless explicitly for net change.
  • Large values (>1e6 g) show in kg for readability (optional enhancement).

4. Shortcuts / Mental Math

  • Approx: 1 oz โ‰ˆ 28 g (error ~1.25%).
  • Quarter oz โ‰ˆ 7 g; Half โ‰ˆ 14 g; 4 oz โ‰ˆ 113 g.
  • Divide grams by 30 for very rough oz estimate.

5. Pitfalls

  • Troy ounce (31.1034768 g) NOT supported here.
  • Fluid ounce is volume, ignore for weight.
  • Excessive rounding early causes drift in chained sums.

6. Micro Examples

2 oz โ†’ 56.699 g

113 g โ†’ 3.985 oz

0.75 oz โ†’ 21.262 g

7. Mini FAQ

  • Exact constant? 28.349523125 g.
  • Troy metals? Use troy constant 31.1034768.
  • Why many decimals? Prevent cumulative error; round only on output.

8. Action Tip

Keep one internal double (grams). When user swaps, recompute ounces from stored grams to avoid precision loss.
