Temperature as a value type

Temperature Value Type

Overview

This project takes the idea of temperature as a defined type in the .Net Framework.

Features

The Temperature value type have the following features:

• Create instances in desire temperature scale: Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, and Rankine.
• Default temperature scale is Celsius.
• Min/Max value are ±1.7976931348623157E+308.
• Temperature value type have properties to allow quick conversion to Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, and Rankine from default defined scale.
• Implicit/explicit conversion for UInt16, UInt32, UInt64, Int16, Int32, Int64, Single, Decimal, and Double.
• Defined operator: + unary, - negation, - subtract, + addition, * multiplicity, / division, ==, !=, <, >, <=, and >=.
• Defined IComparable, IEquatable, IConvertible, and IFormattable.

Getting started

The source code is written in C# and targeted for the .Net Framework 4.0 and later. Download the entire project and compile.

Usage

Once you have compiled the project reference the dll in your Visual Studio project. Then in your code file add the following to the collection of using statement.

using Ekstrand;

Examples

Creates a new instance of Temperature at default Celsius scale.

Temperature tempValue = new Temperature(23.5);

Create a new instance of Temperature with defined temperature scale and default value of 0.

Temperature tempValue = new Temperature(TemperatureScaleTypes.Celsius);

Create a new instance of Temperature with a value and defined scale.

Temperature tempValue = new Temperature(23.5, TemperatureScaleTypes.Fahrenheit);

Implicit conversion from integer to temperature

int value = 32
Temperature tempValue = new Temperature();
tempValue = value;

Operators

Temperature first = 55;
Temperature second = 60;
Temperature three = first + second;
if(three < 115)
{ ... }
else if(three >= 115)
{ ... }
...
