Method Detail

values

public static SIUnitPrefixes[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (SIUnitPrefixes c : SIUnitPrefixes.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static SIUnitPrefixes valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

unitFactor

public double unitFactor()

Return the unit factor associated with the given unit prefix.

Returns:

The unit factor as a double value.

prefixName

public java.lang.String prefixName()

Return the name of the given unit prefix as a string.

Returns:

The name of the unit prefix as a string.

prefixSymbol

public java.lang.String prefixSymbol()

Return the short symbol representing the given unit prefix as a string.

Returns:

The short symbol for the unit prefix as a string.
