ktsu.io.SemanticQuantity 1.0.1

ktsu.io.SemanticQuantity

Overview

The ktsu.io.SemanticQuantity library provides a base class for creating semantic quantities with a specific storage type. This allows for defining quantities with meaningful semantics, such as length, mass, time, etc., and performing arithmetic operations on them while preserving their semantics.

Features

• Define semantic quantities with meaningful semantics.
• Perform arithmetic operations on semantic quantities.
• Support for a wide range of numeric types for storage.
• Integration with .NET numeric interfaces.

Installation

To install the ktsu.io.SemanticQuantity library, you can use the .NET CLI:

dotnet add package ktsu.io.SemanticQuantity

Or, add the package reference directly in your project file:

<PackageReference Include="ktsu.io.SemanticQuantity" Version="1.0.0" />

Usage

Creating a Semantic Quantity

You can create a semantic quantity from various numeric types using the Create method:

using ktsu.io.SemanticQuantity;
using System.Numerics;

// Define a specific semantic quantity type
public record Length : SemanticQuantity<Length, double>;

var length = Length.Create(123.45);
Console.WriteLine(length.Quantity); // Output: 123.45

Arithmetic Operations

You can perform various arithmetic operations on semantic quantities:

var length1 = Length.Create(100.0);
var length2 = Length.Create(200.0);

var sum = length1 + length2;
var difference = length1 - length2;
var product = length1 * 2.0;
var quotient = length2 / 2.0;
var ratio = length2 / length1;

Supported Numeric Types

The SemanticQuantity class supports a wide range of numeric types for storage through the INumber interface. The following types are supported:

• int
• long
• short
• sbyte
• uint
• ulong
• ushort
• byte
• BigInteger
• double
• float
• Half
• decimal

API Reference

SemanticQuantity<TStorage>

• TStorage Quantity { get; protected set; }: Gets the stored quantity value.

Methods

• static TQuantity Create<TQuantity>(TStorage quantity): Creates a new instance of the specified SemanticQuantity<TQuantity> type with the given quantity.

SemanticQuantity<TSelf, TStorage>

• Inherits from SemanticQuantity<TStorage> and implements various arithmetic operators.

Methods

• static TResult Multiply<TResult>(SemanticQuantity<TStorage> self, SemanticQuantity<TStorage> other): Multiplies two semantic quantities and returns the result as a new instance of the specified type.
• static TResult Multiply<TResult>(SemanticQuantity<TStorage> self, TStorage other): Multiplies a semantic quantity by a scalar value and returns the result as a new instance of the specified type.
• static TResult Divide<TResult>(SemanticQuantity<TStorage> self, SemanticQuantity<TStorage> other): Divides one semantic quantity by another and returns the result as a new instance of the specified type.
• static TResult Divide<TResult>(SemanticQuantity<TStorage> self, TStorage other): Divides a semantic quantity by a scalar value and returns the result as a new instance of the specified type.
• static TStorage DivideToStorage(SemanticQuantity<TStorage> self, SemanticQuantity<TStorage> other): Divides one semantic quantity by another and returns the result as a scalar value.
• static TResult Add<TResult>(SemanticQuantity<TStorage> self, SemanticQuantity<TStorage> other): Adds two semantic quantities and returns the result as a new instance of the specified type.
• static TResult Subtract<TResult>(SemanticQuantity<TStorage> self, SemanticQuantity<TStorage> other): Subtracts one semantic quantity from another and returns the result as a new instance of the specified type.
• static TResult Negate<TResult>(SemanticQuantity<TStorage> self): Negates a semantic quantity and returns the result as a new instance of the specified type.

Operators

• static TSelf operator +(SemanticQuantity<TSelf, TStorage> left, TSelf right): Adds two semantic quantities.
• static TSelf operator -(SemanticQuantity<TSelf, TStorage> left, TSelf right): Subtracts one semantic quantity from another.
• static TSelf operator -(SemanticQuantity<TSelf, TStorage> value): Negates a semantic quantity.
• static TSelf operator *(SemanticQuantity<TSelf, TStorage> left, TStorage right): Multiplies a semantic quantity by a scalar value.
• static TSelf operator /(SemanticQuantity<TSelf, TStorage> left, TStorage right): Divides a semantic quantity by a scalar value.
• static TStorage operator /(SemanticQuantity<TSelf, TStorage> left, SemanticQuantity<TSelf, TStorage> right): Divides one semantic quantity by another.
