Math Operations

Additional mathematical operations on measurements are available in the unit_math.hpp header these are header only so no additional compilation is required. The intention of this header is to match operations from the cmath header available in the standard library. These are all template functions which will work for any measurement type.

Type traits

The header includes a few type traits used in the header file and potentially useful elsewhere including

• is_unit : true if the type is a unit (unit or precise_unit)

• is_measurement : true if the type is one of the defined measurement types

• is_precise_measurement : true if the type is one of the defined precise measurement type

Rounding and Truncation

These operations will effect only the value part of the measurement

• round

• trunc

• ceil

• floor

Trigonometric functions

Trigonometric operations will operate only if the measurement is convertible to radians

• sin

• cos

• tan

Multiplies and divides

Division and multiplication operators for measurements that have support for per_unit measurement

• multiplies : works like * except when one of the measurements is per_unit and they have the same unit base, then they remove the per unit

• divides : works like / except if both measurements have the same base then the result has a per_unit unit

See Strain for examples on usage

Others

Other common mathematical expressions found in <cmath>

• fmod : return the floating point modulus of a division operation as long as division is a valid operation

• hypot : works for two and three measurements or floating point values as long as addition is a valid operation.

• cbrt : works similarly to the sqrt operation
