Returns the expanded uncertainty for coverage factor, k, in this Quantity's value as a typed Quantity object.
inherited
centi() Units
Returns the derived Units having the 10^-2 (i.e., 0.01) prefix, centi (c).
inherited
compareTo(dynamic q2) int
Compares this Quantity to q2 by comparing MKS values. The Quantities need not have the same dimensions.
inherited
deci() Units
Returns the derived Units having the 10^-1 (i.e., 0.1) prefix, deci (d).
inherited
deka() Units
Returns the derived Units having the 10^1 (i.e. 10) prefix, deka (da).

derive(String fullPrefix, String abbrevPrefix, double conv) Units
Derive InformationRateUnits using this InformationRateUnits object as the base.
override
exa() Units

inherited
femto() Units
Returns the derived Units having the 10^-15 prefix, femto (f).
inherited
fromMks(dynamic mks) Number
Calculates and returns the value in the units represented by this Units object of mks (that is expected to be in SI-MKS units). The method accepts a num or Number object; any other type will cause a QuantityException.
inherited
getShortestName(bool sing) String
Returns the shortest name for the units. This will be the first non-null name found when inspecting secondary abbreviation, primary abbreviation and full name, in that order. If sing is true and no symbol or alternate name are available then the singular version of the name will be returned.
inherited
giga() Units
Returns the derived Units having the 10^9 prefix, giga (G).
inherited
hecto() Units
Returns the derived Units having the 10^2 (i.e., 100) prefix, hecto (h).
inherited
inverse() Quantity
Determines the inverse of the quantity represented by this object, creating and returning a Quantity object (which may have different dimensions and therefore be of a different type). This object is not modified.
inherited
kilo() Units
Returns the derived Units having the 10^3 (i.e., 1000) prefix, kilo (k).
inherited
mega() Units
Returns the derived Units having the 10^6 prefix, mega (M).
inherited
micro() Units
Returns the derived Units having the 10^-6 prefix, micro (the symbol mu).
inherited
milli() Units
Returns the derived Units having the 10^-3 (i.e., 0.001) prefix, milli (m).
inherited

inherited
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited
outputText(StringBuffer buffer, {UncertaintyFormat uncertFormat = UncertaintyFormat.none, bool symbols = true, NumberFormat? numberFormat}) → void
Appends a String representation of this Quantity to the buffer using the preferred units and number format. If no preferred units have been specified, then MKS units are used. Uncertainty in the value of the Quantity is optionally shown as a plus/minus value in the same units.
inherited

Returns the derived Units having the 10^15 prefix, peta (P).
inherited
pico() Units
Returns the derived Units having the 10^-12 prefix, pico (p).
inherited
randomSample() Quantity
Randomly generates a Quantity from this Quantity's value and uncertainty. The uncertainty is represented by a Normal (Gaussian) continuous distribution.
inherited
sqrt() Quantity
Returns a Quantity that represents the square root of this Quantity, in terms of both value and dimensions (for example, if this Quantity were an Area of 16 square meters, a Length of 4 meters will be returned).
inherited
tera() Units
Returns the derived Units having the 10^12 prefix, tera (T).
inherited
toJson() Map<String, dynamic>
Support dart:convert stringify.
inherited
toMks(dynamic value) Number
Calculates and returns the value in SI-MKS units of the specified value (that is implicitly in these units). The method expects value to be a num or Number object; any other type will cause a QuantityException.
inherited
toString() String
Returns a String representation of the Units in the following format:
inherited
valueInUnits(Units? units) Number
Gets the Quantity's value in the specified units. If units is null, the MKS value is returned. If not null, units must have dimensions compatible with this Quantity or a DimensionsException will be thrown.
inherited
yocto() Units
Returns the derived Units having the 10^-24 prefix, yocto (y).
inherited
yotta() Units
Returns the derived Units having the 10^24 prefix, yotta (Y).
inherited
zepto() Units
Returns the derived Units having the 10^-21 prefix, zepto (z).
inherited
zetta() Units
Returns the derived Units having the 10^21 prefix, zetta (Z).
inherited

Operators

operator *(dynamic multiplier) Quantity

inherited
operator -(dynamic subtrahend) Quantity
Returns the difference of this Quantity and subtrahend or (this - q2).
inherited
operator /(dynamic divisor) Quantity
