Constructor Detail
Quantity
public Quantity(value : Number, unit : String)
Creates a new quantity instance with the specified value and unit.
Parameters:
value - the actual quantity, must not be null
unit - the unit identifier for the quantity, must not be null
Method Detail
add
add(value : Quantity) : Quantity
Add Quantity object to the current object. Only objects representing the same unit can be added.
Parameters:
value - Quantity object
Returns:
Quantity object representing the sum of the operands
compareTo
compareTo(other : Quantity) : Number
Compares two Quantity values. An exception is thrown if the two Quantities values are of different unit. If one of the Quantity values represents the N/A value it is treated as 0.0.
Parameters:
other - the other quantity to compare.
Returns:
the comparison.
divide
divide(divisor : Number) : Quantity
Divide Quantity object by specified divisor.
Parameters:
divisor - divisor
Returns:
Quantity object representing division result
equals
equals(other : Object) : boolean
Compares two decimal values whether they are equivalent.
Parameters:
other - the object to compare against this quantity instance.
Returns:
true if equal, false otherwise.
getDecimalValue
getDecimalValue() : Decimal
Returns the quantity as Decimal, null is returned when the quantity is not available.
Returns:
the quantity as Decimal
getUnit
getUnit() : String
Returns the value for unit which identifies the unit of measure for the quantity. Examples of unit are 'inches' or 'pounds'.
Returns:
the unit value.
getValue
getValue() : Number
Returns the quantity value.
Returns:
the quantity value.

hashCode
hashCode() : Number
Calculates the hash code for a decimal.
Returns:
the hash code.
isAvailable
isAvailable() : boolean
Identifies if the instance contains settings for value and unit.
Returns:
true if the instance is initialized with value and unit, false if the state is 'not available'.
isOfSameUnit
isOfSameUnit(value : Quantity) : boolean
Identifies if two Quantities have the same unit.
Parameters:
value - the second quantity for the comparison.
Returns:
true if both quantities have the same unit, false otherwise.
multiply
multiply(factor : Number) : Quantity
Multiply Quantity object by specified factor.
Parameters:
factor - multiplication factor
Returns:
Quantity object representing multiplication result
