Assignment (copy)

const String &getUnit() const

Get units of QBase

Return the string representation of the current units attached to QBase

Re-specify parts of a QBase

Set new unit, copied from specified QBase, without changing value

void setUnit(const Unit &s)

Re-specify parts of a QBase

Bool isConform(const QBase &other) const

Check for conformal matching units (e.g. dam and Mpc)

Using units specified in QBase

Bool isConform(const Unit &s) const

Check for conformal matching units (e.g. dam and Mpc)
