Measurement Basics

Every measurement has a sample, uncertainty, and units.

The uncertainty can be expressed as an absolute value or as a relative percentage.

In-Place Mutation

The below method mutates the measurement uncertainty style in-place.

>>> m = Measurement.fromStr("2.00 +/- 0.03 m")

>>> m.toAbsolute()
2.00 +/- 0.03 m

>>> m
2.00 +/- 0.03 m

>>> m.toPercent()
2.00 +/- 1.5% m

>>> m
2.00 +/- 1.5% m

Immutable

The below method creates a new measurement object with the given uncertainty style.

>>> m.absolute()
2.00 +/- 0.03 m

>>> m.percent()
2.00 +/- 1.5% m
