Hello,
it is possible to invoke Calc functions on quantities with units:
(calc-eval "sqrt(4.0 g)")
"2. sqrt(g)"
However, it this does not work for round():
(calc-eval "round(4.0 g)")
"round(4. g)"
Not knowing what is going on, I decided to build my own Calc function
that does what is required:
(defmath uround (x)
(* (round (remove-units x)) (extract-units x)))
However, this somehow does not work:
(calc-eval "uround(2.345 g)")
"uround(2.345 g)"
but it does if I replace round() with any other function:
(defmath uplus (x)
(* (1+ (remove-units x)) (calc-eval "kg" 'raw)))
(calc-eval "uplus(2.345 g)")
"3.345 g"
Why is it so? How do I work around this?
Thank you.
Cheers,
Dan
