false, because PQS has no mechanism for distinguishing dimensionless types.
All the built-in types? I'd use double (or Modular_Integer etc etc), for them :)
Or is what you meant that you CAN'T use Modular_Integer as dimensionless part?
I think that (indeed) a PQS library should support ANY external type as base field, not just doubles.
oh yes! Ability to to use some InifinitePrecision class, or even Boost.Rational numbers is very important. Another question is the ability to switch underlying numerical data types on runtime, which I think shouldn't be allowed - that would make everything damn too complicated. I'm thinking now about free_quantity. -- Janek Kozicki |
