      • values

        public static SIUnitPrefixes[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
        for (SIUnitPrefixes c : SIUnitPrefixes.values())
            System.out.println(c);
        
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
      • valueOf

        public static SIUnitPrefixes valueOf​(java.lang.String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
      • unitFactor

        public double unitFactor()
        Return the unit factor associated with the given unit prefix.
        Returns:
        The unit factor as a double value.
      • prefixName

        public java.lang.String prefixName()
        Return the name of the given unit prefix as a string.
        Returns:
        The name of the unit prefix as a string.
      • prefixSymbol

        public java.lang.String prefixSymbol()
        Return the short symbol representing the given unit prefix as a string.
        Returns:
        The short symbol for the unit prefix as a string.
