ConvertUnitGeneral
[this page | pdf | back links]
Function Description
Returns a general unit conversion, re-expressing a value in
the FromUnits into a value in the ToUnits allowing for arbitrary
(integer) powers of each unit, e.g. if re-expressing a value expressed in ms-2
we would input into FromUnits an array {metre, second} and into FromUnitPowers
an array {1, -2}.
Please note that this function converts temperature scale
units according to their size rather than their absolute value (e.g. it will
convert 5 degrees Celsius into 9 degrees Fahrenheit).
