When mixing plain numbers with units, the nearest unit will be used automatically. This is called unit assimilation.
300 + 20 km | 320 km
$20 + 30 | $50.00
When doing calculations with mixed unit types, the larger unit wins:
1km + 1,000m | 2 km
When units don't share a common base unit, the last used unit wins:
$200 + €200 | €308.84
Soulver only supports units that have been pre-defined in its math engine, not compound units that do "not exist":
10m × 10m | 100 m² // area, a supported unit type
3 kg × 3 liters | // Not "9 kg liters", this unit does not exist
Soulver will make an implicit rate when a supported unit cannot be created through multiplication:
$30 × 4 days | $120.00
// the above is interpreted as $30/day × 4 days
Soulver displays a unit's symbol rather than its full name in the answer column.
You may, however, use the full unit name in expressions. Most units have multiple aliases, depending on your preference.
10 kilometers in meters | 10,000 m
20 tablespoons in teaspoons | 60 tsp
You can add additional units to Soulver in the
Calculator > Custom units settings. Custom units are defined in terms of an existing units. You cannot add new unit categories to Soulver at this time.
