Module:Val

This module implements {{Val}}.

The following modules are developed:

• Module:Val • Main module.
• Module:Val/units • Definitions for units built-in to val.

Use {{val/sandbox}} for testing, for example:

• {{val/sandbox|1234.5678|(23)|u=cm}} → 1234.5678(23) cm
• {{val/sandbox|1234.5678|1.23|u=cm}} → 1234.5678±1.23 cm
• {{val/sandbox|1234.5678|1.23|4.56|u=cm}} → 1234.5678+1.23
  −4.56 cm
• {{val/sandbox|1234.5678|e=3|u=cm}} → 1234.5678×10³ cm
• {{val/sandbox|1234.5678|(23)|e=3|u=cm}} → 1234.5678(23)×10³ cm
• {{val/sandbox|1234.5678|1.23|e=3|u=cm}} → (1234.5678±1.23)×10³ cm
• {{val/sandbox|1234.5678|1.23|4.56|e=3|u=cm}} → 1234.5678+1.23
  −4.56×10³ cm
• {{val/sandbox|1234.5678|1.23|4.56|e=3|u=cm|end=$|+errend=U$|-errend=L$}} → 1234.5678$+1.23U$
  −4.56L$×10³ cm
• {{val/sandbox|1234.5678|(23)|u=deg}} → 1234.5678(23)°
• {{val/sandbox|1234.5678|1.23|u=deg}} → 1234.5678°±1.23°
• {{val/sandbox|1234.5678|1.23|4.56|u=deg}} → 1234.5678°+1.23°
  −4.56°
• {{val/sandbox|1234.5678|e=3|u=deg}} → 1234.5678°×10³
• {{val/sandbox|1234.5678|(23)|e=3|u=deg}} → 1234.5678(23)°×10³
