static class

IDimension.DimensionBase Enumeration for base dimensions

Method Summary

boolean

equals(IDimension otherDimension) Check if a Dimension instance equals to another Dimension instance.

double

getPower(IDimension.DimensionBase baseQuantity) Returns the power for the requested dimension EXAMPLE: For a quantity such as flow, which may have the unit m3/s, the GetPower method must work as follows: myDimension.GetPower(DimensionBase.AmountOfSubstance) -->returns 0 myDimension.GetPower(DimensionBase.Currency) --> returns 0 myDimension.GetPower(DimensionBase.ElectricCurrent) --> returns 0 myDimension.GetPower(DimensionBase.Length) --> returns 3 myDimension.GetPower(DimensionBase.LuminousIntensity) --> returns 0 myDimension.GetPower(DimensionBase.Mass) --> returns 0 myDimension.GetPower(DimensionBase.Temperature) --> returns 0 myDimension.GetPower(DimensionBase.Time) --> returns -1

Method Detail

getPower

double getPower(IDimension.DimensionBase baseQuantity)

Returns the power for the requested dimension

EXAMPLE:

For a quantity such as flow, which may have the unit m3/s, the GetPower method must work as follows:

myDimension.GetPower(DimensionBase.AmountOfSubstance) -->returns 0

myDimension.GetPower(DimensionBase.Currency) --> returns 0

myDimension.GetPower(DimensionBase.ElectricCurrent) --> returns 0

myDimension.GetPower(DimensionBase.Length) --> returns 3

myDimension.GetPower(DimensionBase.LuminousIntensity) --> returns 0

myDimension.GetPower(DimensionBase.Mass) --> returns 0

myDimension.GetPower(DimensionBase.Temperature) --> returns 0

myDimension.GetPower(DimensionBase.Time) --> returns -1

Parameters:

baseQuantity - The requested dimension.

Returns:

The power of the requested dimension.

equals

boolean equals(IDimension otherDimension)

Check if a Dimension instance equals to another Dimension instance.

Parameters:

otherDimension - Dimension instance to compare with.

Returns:

True if the dimensions are equal.
