The first thing I'm trying to do is determine how to represent a velocity in miles per hour. I haven't been able to figure it out from the documentation. Any hints would be appreciated.

// Get the associated base units #include #include // Create short typedefs for the components. typedef boost::units::us::mile_base_unit::unit_type mile_unit; typedef boost::units::metric::hour_base_unit::unit_type hour_unit; // make the unit for miles/hour typedef boost::units::divide_typeof_helper::type miles_per_hour; quantity mph = 80.0*miles_per_hour();

I also need to figure out the best way to get string representations of quantities that include their units for output.

#include will give you operator<<. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
