Constructor Detail

FrequencyUnit

public FrequencyUnit(TimeUnit timeUnit,
                     String name,
                     String abbreviation,
                     UnitSystem unitSystem)

Define a user-defined FrequencyUnit based on time. You can define unit like "per fortnight" here.

Parameters:

timeUnit - the unit of time for the frequency unit, e.g., second

name - the long name of the unit

abbreviation - the abbreviation of the unit

unitSystem - the unit system, e.g. SI or Imperial

FrequencyUnit

public FrequencyUnit(String name,
                     String abbreviation,
                     UnitSystem unitSystem,
                     FrequencyUnit referenceUnit,
                     double conversionFactorToReferenceUnit)

Build a user-defined FrequencyUnit with a conversion factor to another FrequencyUnit.

Parameters:

name - the long name of the unit

abbreviation - the abbreviation of the unit

unitSystem - the unit system, e.g. SI or Imperial

referenceUnit - the unit to convert to

conversionFactorToReferenceUnit - multiply a value in this unit by the factor to convert to the given reference unit

Method Detail

getTimeUnit

public final TimeUnit getTimeUnit()

Returns:

timeUnit

getStandardUnit

public final FrequencyUnit getStandardUnit()

Specified by:

getStandardUnit in class Unit<FrequencyUnit>
