  Units: A Unit Conversion Program
2131 units, 53 prefixes, 24 nonlinear units You have:
Dimensionless units are indicated by using the string !dimensionless for the unit definition.
Some units conversions of interest are nonlinear; for example, temperature conversions between the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales cannot be done by simply multiplying by conversions factors.

 Conversion of Units of Measurement
Conversion of units must be done explicitly by the programmer; this can be both burdensome and error-prone, since the conversion factors used by the programmer might be entered incorrectly or might have limited accuracy.
Unit conversion may also be required in preparing data for transmission to a remote site over a network, or for use in a remote procedure call.
Conversion of units may generate extra multiplication operations; however, if the compiler performs constant folding [aho], these operations and their conversion factors can often be combined with other constants.

If 'units' is given non-conformable units to convert, it will print a message giving the reduced form of each unit and it will return failure (nonzero) to the calling environment.
Some units conversions of interest are nonlinear; for example, temper- ature conversions between the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales cannot be done by simply multiplying by conversions factors.
Internally, nonlinear units are defined by a pair of functions which convert to and from linear units in the data file, so that an eventual conversion to prim- itive units is possible.

 Physics > Physical Units
In physics and metrology, units are standards for measurement of physical quantities that need clear definitions to be useful.
The most widely used system of units is the international system, or SI system, of units derived from the seven SI base units.
Conversion of units involves comparison of different standard physical values, either of a single physical quantity or of a physical quantity and a combination of other physical quantities.
