PrefixUnit Class
Definition
Represents the prefix of a unit of measurement.
Examples
Represent a unit of measurement with an associated prefix. This example demonstrates creating PrefixUnit instances with different combinations of base units and prefixes, shows how to construct one from an existing unit, and demonstrates that the prefix parameter is optional (a unit with no prefix has the default None prefix):
using System;
using Codebelt.Unitify;
namespace Unitify.Samples;
public class PrefixUnitExample
{
public static void Main()
{
// Create a kilometer (meter with kilo prefix)
var kilometer = new PrefixUnit(Unit.Meter, 1.0, DecimalPrefix.Kilo);
Console.WriteLine($"Distance: {kilometer}");
// Create from an existing unit
var wattUnit = UnitFactory.CreateWatt(500);
var kilowatt = new PrefixUnit(wattUnit, DecimalPrefix.Kilo);
Console.WriteLine($"Power: {kilowatt}");
// Create a megahertz
var megahertz = new PrefixUnit(Unit.Hertz, 100.0, DecimalPrefix.Mega);
Console.WriteLine($"Frequency: {megahertz}");
// Prefix can be None (no prefix applied)
var baseWatt = new PrefixUnit(Unit.Watt, 2500.0);
Console.WriteLine($"No prefix: {baseWatt}");
}
}
