| 1 | //! Dimension-checked physical quantities. |
| 2 | //! |
| 3 | //! A [`Quantity`] carries a magnitude in SI base units, a count of significant |
| 4 | //! figures, and a [`Dimension`]. Its multiplication and division combine both |
| 5 | //! magnitude and dimension, so a velocity times a time yields a length without |
| 6 | //! any further declaration. Its addition and subtraction require the two |
| 7 | //! operands to share a dimension and return an [`Outcome`], erroring with both |
| 8 | //! dimensions named when they differ. That error is the check that catches a |
| 9 | //! physics mistake, such as adding a length to a time, at the point the code is |
| 10 | //! written. |
| 11 | //! |
| 12 | //! Significant figures propagate through the algebra: multiplication and |
| 13 | //! division keep the smaller of the two figure counts, while addition and |
| 14 | //! subtraction work by decimal place, keeping the coarser of the two least |
| 15 | //! significant places. |
