                        Suggeriment

                        You can find all the available commands related to units of measurement here.

                        You can do calculations using units. We follow the metric system, also called the International System of Units or SI for short. Find out all the units and metric prefixes supported. See Metric system for background information.

                        • You must write the units with the buttons of this section. You can't write them with the keyboard. An m from here is a meter, but an m from the keyboard is just a variable.
                        • Usually, a space between symbols means product, but it implies a sum between quantities. If you want to multiply quantities, you must write the product symbol in between.

                        At the top of the section, there is a selector of the SI prefixes for the units below. The result of an operation between quantities has its unit selected automatically. You can force the unit of a quantity by using the Convert command. You can obtain a quantity by multiplying a number and a unit. Using those commands can split a quantity into its coefficient and unit.

                        Commands
                        Convert the quantity in the first parameter to the unit of the second parameter. If there is no second parameter, it will be converted to the SI default unit.
                        Coefficient of a quantity.
                        Unit of a quantity.
