How to Create a Physical Value
The easierst way to create a Physical Value is to use the Extension Methods for a double. The Extension Method creates a new instance of the generic type PhysicalValue<T>.
using IMaverick.Physics;
using IMaverick.Physics.Extensions;
var meter = 2.5.m();
var kg = 23.2.kg();
Creation of a Physical Value without Extension Methods
using IMaverick.Physics;
var meter = new PhysicalValue<Length>(2.5, Length.Meter);
var kg = new PhysicalValue<Weight>(23.2, Weight.Kilogram);
Physical Value Members
| Member | Description |
|---|
| Unit | Returns the unit class used by the Physical Value. e.g. Length.Meter |
| UnitString | Returns the SI unit symbol as string. e.g. m |
| Value | Returns the value of the Physical Value. e.g. 2.5 |
| EqualsApproximately | Used to compare two Physical Values with a tolernce. e.g. 2.0.m().EqualsApproximately(1.98.m(), 0.05.m()) |
| ScaleTo() | Scales a Physical Value to a specific unit. e.g. 200.0.m().ScaleTo(Length.Kilometer) |
| ToDefault() | Scales a Physical Value to the default SI unit. e.g. 0.2.km().ToDefault() //The Physical Value has now the Value 200 and the Unit Length.Meter |
| ToString() | ToString is overloaded, that it return the value and the unit symbol. e.g. 200 m |
