Enum MetricPrefix

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<MetricPrefix>

javax.measure.MetricPrefix

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<MetricPrefix>, Prefix

public enum MetricPrefix
extends Enum<MetricPrefix>
implements Prefix

Provides support for the 20 prefixes used in the metric system (decimal multiples and submultiples of units). For example:

 
     import static tech.units.indriya.unit.Units.*;  // Static import.
     import static javax.measure.MetricPrefix.*; // Static import.
     import javax.measure.*;
     import javax.measure.quantity.*;
     ...
     Unit<Pressure> HECTOPASCAL = HECTO(PASCAL);
     Unit<Length> KILOMETRE = KILO(METRE);
 

Since:

2.0
