Function

Magnitude(number) number

---

Use

The Magnitude() function returns the unitless component of a number.

Typically Magnitude() is not the best way to "strip" units from a number. This is because if the number gets converted along the way, you will get a different answer.

The better method to strip units is to divide by 1 using the unit you expect. This is covered on the units page.

Examples

• Magnitude(6.2 ft)  = 6.2
• Magnitude(1 ft to in)  = 12
• Magnitude(5.3)  = 5.3
