I use this function all the time. I was trained in imperial units but now work in Germany - this thing is awesome. Really reduces errors, makes code easier to understand, and speeds up my work.

I like this quite a bit. I had to add a lot of my own units for my specific field, e.g. nautical miles, slugs, psf, and for the kitchen (tsp, Tbls). I look forward to having mature units capability in MATLAB one day, and this is a good first step. Maybe Mathworks will take the reigns, if we're lucky, as units are a capability that Matlab's competitors DO have.

Very helpful!
I would also prefer the format proposed by Greg, with a minor tweak of having the units after the value. so
mass = 1.0 [kg]
I don't even mind the * sign, or even the u. (since those would be easy to replace afterwards). So something like:
mass = 1.0 * [u.kg]
It would also be nice to drop the ^1, since that is the standard power and isn't really needed.
Thanks, FGD

Simple and robust, thank you.

I use it in parallel with physunits, that provides more sophisticated units handling, but is more complex and thus more error prone.

Why oh why is this not a Matlab native feature?
