Class UnitPrefix

java.lang.Object

com.trivago.triava.util.UnitPrefix

public class UnitPrefix
extends Object

Represents a unit prefix, for example milli or giga. A unit prefix has a long name ("mega"), a unit symbol ("M") and a value (1.000.000) representing the factor. The value is a factor of 10 (k = kilo = 1000) for Si based prefixes, but there may be variations like IEC based (Ki = kibi = 1024) which are commonly used in the IT world. The value can be smaller than 1, for example 0.001 for millis.
