Exponent

Exponent value of unit prefix

Description

Exponent shows the value of 10^Exponent that defines the numerical value of the unit prefix Name. You can use the unit prefix in conjunction with any built-in or user-defined units. For example, for the unit mole, specify as picomole to use the Exponent, -12.

Characteristics

Examples

This example shows you how to create a user-defined unit prefix, add it to the user-defined library, and query the Exponent property.

1. Create a unit prefix.

   unitprefixObj1 = sbiounitprefix('peta', 15);
   

2. Add the unit prefix to the user-defined library.

   sbioaddtolibrary(unitprefixObj1);
   

3. Query the Exponent property.

   get(unitprefixObj1, 'Exponent')
   
   ans =
   
       15
