    • RadioActivity

      public RadioActivity(double value, RadioActivity.Unit unit)
      Instantiate a RadioActivity quantity with a unit.
      Parameters:
      value - the value, expressed in the unit
      unit - the unit in which the value is expressed

      abbreviation - the String abbreviation of the unit in which the value is expressed
    • RadioActivity

      public RadioActivity(RadioActivity value)
      Construct RadioActivity quantity.
      Parameters:
      value - Scalar from which to construct this instance
  • Method Details

    • ofSi

      public static RadioActivity ofSi(double si)
      Return a RadioActivity instance based on an SI value.
      Parameters:
      si - the si value
      Returns:
      the RadioActivity instance based on an SI value
    • instantiate

      public RadioActivity instantiate(double si)
      Description copied from class: Quantity
      Instantiate a quantity with an SI or base value.
      Specified by:
      instantiate in class Quantity<RadioActivity,RadioActivity.Unit>
      Parameters:
      si - the value expressed in the base (SI) unit
