Converting Unit Strings
Strings are objects that contain characters. You can use unit strings to
define
more complicated units than those used so far.
A unit string can represent a unit raised to a power, such as "ftA2", or
the product of units, such as "ft*lb", or any combination of unit pow-
ers and products.
