Equalities and Inequalities in the Simple Units Environment

 

Description

Examples

Description

• 

In the Simple Units environment, any verifications of valid dimensions ignore so-called Unit annotations.

• 

In the Simple Units environment, the equality and inequality relators (=,<,,>,, and) are modified so that they perform the necessary operations on expressions with units.

• 

Every command in the Simple Units environment that needs to determine whether an expression is valid or not, does so using the Units:-TestDimensions command.

• 

The properties of these relators are:

AUnita=BUnitbA=rB

AUnita<BUnitbA<rB

AUnitaBUnitbArB

AUnita>BUnitbA>rB

AUnitaBUnitbArB

AUnitaBUnitbArB

  

where a and b are units; A and B are coefficients; and r is the conversion factor from the unit b to the unit a.

Examples

Notes: 

– 

To enter a unit in 2-D Math input, select the unit from the appropriate Units palette. If the unit you want is not there, select unit and then enter the unit.

– 

When you edit a unit, double brackets appear around it.
