The type Function in the Standard Units Environment

Description

• 

In the Standard Units environment, the global type function is replaced by a type function that converts any unevaluated arithmetic operators, equalities, or inequalities to their global equivalents.  The first argument is tested to check whether it is a valid unit name.

• 

For more information about this function, see the global type help page.
