echo PHP_EOL.'<u>Processing of Multiple Prefixes</u>
Suppose that you have a field in wich you\'re asking for a capacitor value in
picofarads (pF), and someone wants to use a capacitor of 1&micro;F. That are,
also, 1\'000.000 of pF. But, why introduce that if you could use simply the
"1M" value?

Other similar example are when you are asking a resistor value in K&Omega; and
someone wants to use a 1M&Omega; resistor, that are an 1000K&Omega; resistor.
Again, why to insert the 1000 when you can insert 1K?

That class allows the simplification of prefixes, knowing that a prefix are
an abbreviation of a multiplication by another number.

There are both and additional samples (intentional error in the penultimate string - see the source code):'
.PHP_EOL;
foreach(
$examples as $key => $example) {
    echo
'"'.$example.'" : ';
    try {
        echo
           
'$sci->get_number($examples['.$key.']) = $sci->get_number('.htmlentities($example,ENT_COMPAT,'UTF-8').') = ',
            (
$aux=$sci1->get_number($example)).' = '.$sci1->get_prefixed($aux).PHP_EOL;
    } catch (
Exception $e){
        echo
'Error Found (',$e->getCode(),'): ',$e->getMessage(),PHP_EOL;
    }
}
echo
'
Note that in $examples[3] the string was '
.$examples[3].', which has a float number (2e3).
It means that if you don\'t want to write 2000 as 2K, but 2e3 or 2E3; you can do it also.
That behaviour are system dependant (string to -numeric format, probably float- conversion)

What happened with $examples[5]?
Supoose that you have a LOP conformed by "foo", "e" and other prefixes.
If you insert a number, as example "2e3foo" the class will recognize the numeric part as "2e3"
and the prefixed part as "foo" other example, "2efoo" will recognize the numeric part as "2"
and the prefix part as "efoo". This because the prefix part are recognized analyzing the string
from right to left and, note that the prefix part are case-sensitive.'
.PHP_EOL;

echo
PHP_EOL. '<u>SUGGESTED "CALIBRATION" PROCESS FOR THE ENCODING</u>
The string that you could be viewing as the assigned value for $examples[2] should
be something like "-1u u", where each \'u\' are, or the micro or the mu character.

Don\'t forget to set up the encoding format, in both parts:
->In the head of the HTML document; through the meta tag:'
.PHP_EOL.' '.
htmlentities('<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />').
'
->In the configuration of the class, through the __construct() or set_charset() functions.

STEPS:
1. Copy the output of your browser of one of this characters: micro (&micro;) or mu (&mu;)
2. Paste as the argument of the function inside the next "try-catch" block
   (edit the source code to see it):
'
;
try {
   
var_dump($sci1->get_number('1µµ')); //2. Change each of the 'u's by the copied character
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo
'Error Found: ',$e->getMessage(),PHP_EOL;
}
//
echo 'Repeat until it stops giving exceptions and returns a number.</pre></body></html>';
exit;
