Geocode functions

Geocode functions perform different actions on Geocode objects, such as calculating the distance between two Geocode values or obtaining a Geocode's latitude coordinate.

This table describes the Geocode functions that Transform supports. The same functions are described in the Transform API Reference (Groovydoc).

Important: For those geocode functions where type Double is required for inputs, make sure you enter values that are within valid ranges. The range for valid latitude values is from -90.0 to 90.0; the range for valid longitude values is from -180.0 to 180.0. Also, note that geocode functions do not accept type Long.

User Function	Return Data Type	Description
`distance(Geocode geo1, Geocode geo2)`	`Double`	Calculates the distance between two Geocode values, in kilometers. Note that geocode functions do not accept type Long.
`getLatitude(Geocode geo)`	`Double`	Returns the latitude coordinate of a Geocode value. Note that geocode functions do not accept type Long.
`getLongitude(Geocode geo)`	`Double`	Returns the longitude coordinate of a Geocode value. Note that geocode functions do not accept type Long.
`isGeocode(String s)`	`Boolean`	Determines whether a String is a valid Geocode value.
`toGeocode(String s)`	`Geocode`	Converts a String to a Geocode value.
`toGeocode(Double lat, Double lon)`	`Geocode`	Converts a pair of latitude and longitude coordinates to a Geocode value. For the inputs to this function, ensure that you enter valid latitude and longitude values. The range for valid latitude values is from -90.0 to 90.0. The range for valid longitude values is from -180.0 to 180.0.
