Type Parameters:

U - the type of the concrete unit implementation

All Known Implementing Classes:

Data, Time

public interface Unit<U extends Unit<U>>

Represents a unit hierarchy for a given unit of measure; eg: time. Instances represent specific units from the hierarchy; eg: seconds.

multiplier

double multiplier()

Returns the weight of this unit relative to other units in the same hierarchy. Typically the smallest unit in the hierarchy returns 1, but this need not be the case. It is only required that each unit of the hierarchy return a multiplier relative to a common base unit for the hierarchy.
