Tutorials

Welcome to the mp-units tutorials — your step-by-step guide to mastering type-safe physical quantities and units in C++.

Each lesson is:

• Exercise-driven: Learn by doing, with real-world scenarios and hands-on code.
• Type-safe: Avoid common bugs by leveraging strong types and modern C++ features.
• Interactive: Try code snippets live via Compiler Explorer embeds.
• Incremental: Progress from basic refactoring to advanced topics like affine spaces and std::chrono interop.

Whether you're new to physical units in C++ or looking to deepen your expertise, these practical, type-safe patterns will help you apply mp-units in real projects.
