Hello! In qalc I can do calculations using measuring units like this:
> 5 W * 3 s
(5 watts) × (3 seconds) = 15 J
I’d like to be able to do something similar also in GNU Octave. I think the symbolic library could be a place to look at, but I found nothing “already done”. Do any of you know of a way to achieve this functionality?

I downloaded it and tried to run it, but it gets stuck in a loop and I don’t know how it could be fixed:
error: max_recursion_depth exceeded
error: called from
baseUnitSystem
<unknown>
it seems the problem is in the line
coreUnits = buildCoreUnits(u.baseUnitSystem);
in the file u.m, I think because u.baseUnitSystem tries to “call itself”. I don’t know what this should be supposed to do, and have no idea on how to possibly fix it :(

It seems that the implementation of classdev in Octave is unfortunately not complete enough yet.😒
