Method Detail

values

public static DistanceUnits[] 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 (DistanceUnits c : DistanceUnits.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:
an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static DistanceUnits valueOf(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:
IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
NullPointerException - if the argument is null

symbolsAreCaseSensitive

public boolean symbolsAreCaseSensitive()
Returns false -- these symbols are not case sensitive.

Specified by:
symbolsAreCaseSensitive in interface Symbolic
Returns:
true if the case of the symbols carry meaning.

getSymbol

public String getSymbol()
Returns the symbol for this unit. For example, the symbol for KILOMETER is km.

Specified by:
getSymbol in interface Symbolic
Returns:
the symbol for this unit.

toMeters

public BigDecimal toMeters()
Returns the number of meters in one of these units.

Returns:
the number of meters in one of these units.

toUnits

public BigDecimal toUnits(DistanceUnits otherUnits)
Returns a factor for converting from this unit to otherUnits.

Parameters:
otherUnits - the unit to which conversion is desired.
Returns:
a factor for converting from this unit to otherUnits.

getDefault

public static DistanceUnits getDefault()
Returns a unit of distance.

Returns:
a unit of distance.

toString

public String toString()
Returns a text representation of this enumeration constant.

Overrides:
toString in class Enum<DistanceUnits>
Returns:
a text representation of this enumeration constant.

fromString

public static DistanceUnits fromString(String text)
Returns the distance units represented by text.

For details about the transformation, see EnumerationUtility.enumFromString(Class, String).

Parameters:
text - a text representation of a unit of distance.
Returns:
the distance units represented by text.
