Constructor Detail

DistanceUnits

protected DistanceUnits(java.lang.String fullName,
                        java.lang.String shortName)

This constructor specifies the canonical units. These are the units that AMeasure.itsValue is actually stored in.

example: MassUnits kg = new MassUnits("kilograms","kg");

Parameters:

fullName - the full name of the units (ex. "kilometers")

shortName - the abreviated name of the units (ex. "km")

DistanceUnits

protected DistanceUnits(double theValue,
                        DistanceUnits theUnits,
                        java.lang.String fullName,
                        java.lang.String shortName)

This constructor specifies units other than the canonical units. Other units must be specified in terms of either the canonical units or other previously specified units.

example: MassUnits mg = new MassUnits(1000.0, kilograms,"miligrams","mg");

Parameters:

theValue - value of new units in terms of specified units

theUnits - the specified units

fullName - the full name of the units (ex. "kilometers")

shortName - the abreviated name of the units (ex. "km")
