Header

#include <pqs/type_templates/conversion_factor.hpp>

Description

An instantiable compile-time numeric constant, which is used as a scaling of the numeric value of a quantity to the numeric value of the quantity expressed as base_unit_exponents. The number is represented as a rational number a raised to a rational base10 exponent b.

let k be the conversion factors value, then k = a * 10 b

conversion factors can be easily composed from other conversion factors using runtime (constexpr) math operations on them and their exponents and multipliers.

Maths is exact, but this means that it is possible for the number to overflow. Overflow will cause a compilation failure rather than a runtime failure.

The exponent and multiplier may be any rational number expressible by std::intmax_t

normal form

In normal form the multiplier of the conversion factor evaluates to a number n , where n <= 1 and n < 10. The exponent is adjusted accordingly.
