Detailed Description

template<typename T, typename Dimension>
class exercise_3_5::section_3_1::quantity< T, Dimension >

A numerical quanitity with intrinsic dimensions.

To prevent accidental arithmetic between quantities that make no sense, we inlclude the units/dimensions for context. Thus, you cannot add 5 meters to 10 degrees and get a result.

Template Parameters

T	The storage container for the numerical value.
Dimensions	One of the dimension types (e.g., mass, length, force).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

quantity() [1/2]

template<typename T , typename Dimension >

exercise_3_5::section_3_1::quantity< T, Dimension >::quantity ( T const  x )

inlineexplicit

Construct this quantity with an initial value.

Parameters

[in]

x

The initial value for this quantity.

Definition at line 78 of file exercise-3-5.hpp.

quantity() [2/2]

template<typename T , typename Dimension >

template<typename OtherDimension >

exercise_3_5::section_3_1::quantity< T, Dimension >::quantity ( quantity< T, OtherDimension > const &  rhs )

inline

Construct a quantity from another quantity with (possibly) different dimensions.

Check at compile time for equal dimensions, or we will lose the whole point of creating this class template.

Template Parameters

OtherDimensions

Dimensions that must be identical to, or convertable to the current quantity's dimensions.

Parameters

[in]

rhs

The quantity to copy.
