@polwel Any reason why pull request #18 doesn't include a lot of (non-SI) units, e.g. foot, and instead requires the user to define "foot = 0.3048 meter" beforehand? Or even centimeter.

Because I was lazy. Simple as that. Didn't want to look up the numbers :)
It is super straightforward though. Just add them in
Evaluator::initializeBuiltInVariables()About SI prefixes: I think it is kind an elegant way to have them defined separately, like
mega = 1e6. I can then write10 mega newton(agreed; the space looks slightly awkward) and it will just work. I don't see a reason why we should include tons of redundant units like centimeter, milligram. Let the user to this if she'd like to use this notation. - Log in to comment
