Detailed Description

Data of a physical constant, including its value, standard error, units, symbol and description. This is alro used for derived SI units and non-SI units.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

IG.Num.PhysicalConstant.PhysicalConstant ( double  value, double  relativeerror, SI[]  numerator, SI[]  denominator, string  symbol, string  name, string  description  )

inline

Creates a new physical constant with specified properties (value, units, description...).

Parameters

value	Value of the constant.
relativeerror	Standard error of the current constant measurements.
numerator	List of units in the numerator. Units that are raised to some power are repeated the corresponding number of times.
denominator	List of units in the denominator.
symbol	Symbol of the constant.
name	Name of the constant.
description	A short one line description of the constant.

IG.Num.PhysicalConstant.PhysicalConstant ( double  value, double  relativeerror, SI[]  numerator, SI[]  denominator  )

inline

Parameters

value	Value of the constant.
relativeerror	Standard error of the current constant measurements.
numerator	List of units in the numerator. Units that are raised to some power are repeated the corresponding number of times.
denominator	List of units in the denominator.
