📏 How This Converter Works
This is a bidirectional converter that works in real-time:
- CM → Meters: When you type in the cm field, the meters field automatically updates
- Meters → CM: When you type in the meters field, the cm field automatically updates
- No swapping needed: Both conversions happen simultaneously
- Real-time: Updates happen as you type, no button clicks required
// Bidirectional Conversion Logic:
meters = cm ÷ 100
cm = meters × 100
// Example 1: Type "250" in cm
meters = 250 ÷ 100 = 2.5
// Example 2: Type "1.75" in meters
cm = 1.75 × 100 = 175
meters = cm ÷ 100
cm = meters × 100
// Example 1: Type "250" in cm
meters = 250 ÷ 100 = 2.5
// Example 2: Type "1.75" in meters
cm = 1.75 × 100 = 175
