> How much would a 10cm sphere of gold be worth in GBP?

Is there some trick to this? Or do you have to input it like:

You have: 4/3pi(10 cm)^319320 kg/m^345000 GBP/kg

(What ChatGPT gave me)

units has (I assume room temp/pressure) densities for all elements, as well as some precious metal prices and currency exchange rates (you need to run the units_cur program regularly to update the database for these). It also has tab completion to make discovering these a bit easier.

The invocation is

You have: goldprice * golddensity * spherevol(10cm/2)

You want: GBP

Neat! Thank you!

TIL -- thank you, brother!

You can just save a step and ask ChatGPT the answer. It can google the current spot price of gold.

Sure, but then I need to do all the math to verify the answer it gives me isn’t gibberish anyway.

You can just save a step of double-checking everything by using WolframAlpha
