init

void init(const std::string& val);

Initialize a UnitAlgebra object. This function is required if the default constructor was used to create the Output object.

Parameters​

  • val (std::string) value. The format must be <NUMBER>?<UNITS> where:
NUMBER      := (-)?[0-9]+(.[0-9]+)?
UNITS       := UNITGROUP(/UNITGROUP)
UNITGROUP   := UNIT(-UNIT)*
UNIT        := (SIPREFIX)?(BASEUNIT|COMPUNIT)
SIPREFIX    := {a,f,p,n,u,m,[kKMGTPE]i?}
BASEUNIT    := {s,B,b,events}
COMPUNIT    := {Hz,hz,Bps,bps,event}
  • returns none
