lib/sy/signed_magnitude.rb

Overview

Qualities specific to relative magnitudes (mixin).

Instance Method Summary collapse

Instance Method Details

#+(m2) ⇒ Object

Addition.

TODO: Figure out which module comes on the top in Quantity@Magnitude, whether Magnitude or SignedMagnitude, and therefore, whether it is necessary to adjust this method.

#initialize(of: nil, amount: nil) ⇒ Object

Relative magnitude constructor takes :quantity (alias :of) argument and :amount argument. Amount is allowed to be negative.
