Conversion of length units.
Available Units:
Metre, Kilometre, Megametre, Gigametre,
Terametre, Petametre, Exametre, Zettametre, Yottametre
USAGE :
-> Import this file into their respective project.
-> Use the function length_conversion() for conversion of length units.
-> Parameters :
-> value : The number of from units you want to convert
-> from_type : From which type you want to convert
-> to_type : To which type you want to convert
