Measures as first class objects, that is, an object that encapsulates a number with its unit.

Aconcagua

This model represents measures as first class objects, that is, an object that encapsulates a number with its unit.

Named after Aconcagua, the highest mountain in both the southern and western hemispheres. It is located in the Andes, in the Mendoza Province, Argentina.

This representation allows the programmer to use measures in arithmetic expressions as if they were numbers, but with the advantage of providing explicit information to the system, specifically, the measures units. See Arithmetic with measurements on dynamically-typed object-oriented languages or download the article PDF for more about this.
