class NumRu::UNumeric

Class of Numeric with Units.

Dependent on NumRu::Units and Rational, a standard library.

Class Methods

new(val, uni)

Constractor.

ARGUMENTS

• val (Numeric)
• units (NumRu::Units or String): if string, internally converted to a NumRu::Units

Methods

val

RETURN VALUE

• the value (Numric)

units

RETURN VALUE

• the units (NumRu::Units)

inspect

RETURN VALUE

• a String (e.g., '1 m')

to_s

aliasesed to inspect.

to_f

RETURN VALUE

• val.to_f

to_i

RETURN VALUE

• val.to_i

convert(to_units)

Convert to to_units.

RETURN VALUE

• a UNumeric

EXCEPTION

• when the current units is incompatible with to_units.

convert2

Same as convert, but returns self if the units are incompatible (Warned).

EXCEPTION

• none

WARING MADE

Warning is made to $stderr if the following condition is satisfied.

• the units of self and to_units are incompatible.

coerce(other)

As you know. Can handle Numeric, Array, NArray. NOTE: VArray and GPhys know UNumeric.

*(other)

Multiplication. Knows Numeric, UNumeric, VArray, and GPhys. The units are multipled too. (if other is Numeric, it is assumed to be non-dimension)

RETURN VALUE

• a UNumeric, VArray, or GPhys

/(other)

Division. See *.

+(other)

Addition. Knows Numeric, UNumeric, VArray, and GPhys. The return value will have the units of self.

SPECIAL REMARK!

If other has units within a factor and/or offset of difference, It is CONVERTED before addition (by using convert2)!

RETURN VALUE

• a UNumeric, VArray, or GPhys

WARING MADE

Warning is made to $stderr if the following condition is satisfied.

• the units of self and to_units are incompatible.
• other is Numeric.

-(other)

Subtraction. See +.
