 Posted: Sun Oct 17, 2004 2:58 am Post subject: physical constants header file |
 |
|
Please find attached the physical constants header file physical.h
It defines conversion factors to mks units.
It might be used like this:
| Quote: | cat main.cc
#include |
#include"physical.h"
int
main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
using namespace physical::units;
double x = 13.0*meters;
std::cout << "x = " << x << " meters" << std::endl;
double factor = year/second;
std::cout << (365.0*days)/second
<< " = (365.0*days)/second" << std::endl;
std::cout << factor
<< " = seconds/year" << std::endl;
std::cout << (factor -pi*10000000.0)/days
<< " = (factor -pi*10000000.0)/days" << std::endl;
std::cout << (factor -pi*10000000.0)/factor
<< " = (factor -pi*10000000.0)/factor" << std::endl;
return 0;
}

hm... what does this do:

namespace units = unit ; // <------ I'm curious about this line. I've never seen this

It creates an alias for namespace unit named units. You can now refer to
the stuff in the unit namespace throught either unit::stuff or
units::stuff.

It's like typedef for namespaces.

That's more often called a grad than a grade (and it was misnamed a

The micron is not an SI unit. Back in 1967-1968, the CGPM said that

This is idiotic, something never used in the real world. Double
prefixes are a no-no in the modern metric system, the International
System of Units.
Sure, some fools like you might think that to be an acceptable
replacement for the following, but it is not.

That shoudl be angstrom (or ångström) with a lowercase initial letter.

I've seen this cgs unit of pressure as barye more often than barie, if
I've seen the latter at all. It's lowercase in either case--this one
isn't even named after a person, so you don't have that excuse.
