Evaluates and Formats Units of Measurement
UnitsKit is a based around the SMQuantity subclass which contains a value and a unit. A quantity can be constructed using a value wrapped in a NSNumber and a NSString the represents the name or symbol of a unit. Quantities can be combined by using an operator such as add,subtract,multiply, or divide. Quantities can also be converted to other units. Finally Quantities can be formatted as an NSString by specifying how it should be displayed with options like names or symbols.
Build and run the UnitsKit Example project in Xcode to see an example of evaluating and formatting quantities.
SMQuantity *oneMeter = [[SMQuantity alloc] init];
[oneMeter setValue:@1];
[oneMeter setUnit:[quantityEvaluator derivedUnitFromString:@"meter"]];
// Display in either symbols or names
[quantityFormatter stringFromQuantity:oneMeter] // 1 m
[quantityFormatter setDisplaysInTermsOfSymbols:NO];
[quantityFormatter stringFromQuantity:oneMeter]; //1 meter
// Add or multiply
[quantityEvaluator evaluateQuantity:oneMeter withQuantity: oneMeter usingOperator:@"add"]; // 2 m
[quantityEvaluator evaluateQuantity:oneMeter withQuantity: oneMeter usingOperator:@"multiply"]; // 1 m^2Steve Moser
