_uTerms

java.util.Vector _uTerms

Constructor Detail

UnitExpr

public UnitExpr()

Construct an empty (i.e. no UnitTerms) UnitExpr.

UnitExpr

public UnitExpr(IOPort ioPort)

Construct a UnitTerm from an IOPort. The constructed UnitExpr will have one UnitTerm and it will be a variable with the name being that of the port.

Parameters:

ioPort - The IOPort.

Method Detail

addUnitTerm

public void addUnitTerm(UnitTerm uTerm)

Add a UnitTerm to the expression.

Parameters:

uTerm - The UnitTerm.

copy

public UnitExpr copy()

Create a copy of this UnitExpr.

Returns:

The new UnitExpr.

descriptiveForm

public java.lang.String descriptiveForm()

The expression of the UnitExpr that is commonly used by humans.

Specified by:

descriptiveForm in interface UnitPresentation

Returns:

The descriptive form.

See Also:

UnitPresentation.descriptiveForm()

getSingleUnit

public Unit getSingleUnit()

If this UnitExpr has one term and it is a Unit then return that Unit.

Returns:

The Unit if there is a single UnitTerm, and it is a Unit, null otherwise.

getUTerms

public java.util.Vector getUTerms()

Get the UnitTerms in this UnitExpr.

Returns:

The UnitTerms.

invert

public UnitExpr invert()

Create a new UnitExpr that is the inverse of this UnitExpr.

Returns:

The inverse of this UnitExpr.

reduce

public UnitExpr reduce()

Reduce a UnitExpr to produce a UnitExpr that has at most one Unit. Any embedded UnitExpr is first transformed so that all embedded UnitExprs are replaced with Units. This intermediate result is a mixture of Units and variables. The Units are then replaced with their product. The result is a single Unit and all of the original variables.

Returns:

The reduced UnitExpr.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Specified by:

toString in interface UnitPresentation

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

_setUTerms

protected void _setUTerms(java.util.Vector uTerms)
