Temperature conversion problem. Please help!

[StephenG1CMZ]

If I recall correctly, there are two techniques that can be used to strip out units.

Mathematically, if one divides 3_m by 1_m the result is 3 - a dimensionless number without any units. However, in the case of temperatures I am not certain that would work without first converting to Kelvin, because of the differing 0's.

Alternatively, str(x) will yield a string like "3_m" and one can then strip out the underscore and unit from the string, leaving just "3".

I have implemented temperature and other unit conversions In my Z_UNITS program.
