Class Length

java.lang.Object

manifold.science.api.AbstractMeasure<LengthUnit,Length>

manifold.science.measures.Length

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<Length>, Sequential<Length,Rational,LengthUnit>, ComparableUsing<Length>, Dimension<Length>

public final class Length
extends AbstractMeasure<LengthUnit,Length>

Models a measure of length in units of LengthUnit.

Use values of Length directly in arithmetic expressions with other dimensions such as:

   // commonly used unit abbreviations e.g., m, ft, hr, mph, etc.
   import static manifold.science.util.UnitConstants.*;
   ...
   Length l = 5m; // 5 meters
   Length height = 5 ft + 9.5 in;
   Area room = 20 ft * 15.5 ft;
   Length distance = 80 mph * 2.3 hr;

Method Detail

getBaseUnit

public LengthUnit getBaseUnit()

Description copied from class: AbstractMeasure

The unit on which all instances of this type are based. For instance, a Length dimension might use Meters as the base unit because it is the SI standard.

Specified by:

getBaseUnit in class AbstractMeasure<LengthUnit,Length>
