Class Measure

  • Direct Known Subclasses:
    CurrencyAmount, TimeUnitAmount

    public class Measure
    extends java.lang.Object
    An amount of a specified unit, consisting of a Number and a Unit. For example, a length measure consists of a Number and a length unit, such as feet or meters.

    Measure objects are parsed and formatted by subclasses of MeasureFormat.

    Measure objects are immutable. All subclasses must guarantee that. (However, subclassing is discouraged.)
