    The identity string of this unit.

### getType

    public int getType()

  Returns:
    The type of this unit.

### setType

    public void setType(int t)

  Parameters:
    `t` - The new type of this unit.

### reset

    public abstract void reset()

  Call this to reset the unit for another run. It is expected by that this unit will call the reset functions of all input units to it. It is also expected that this will not be done if the unit has already been reset (or atleast appears to be).

### outputValue

    public abstract double outputValue(boolean calculate)

  Call this to get the output value of this unit.

  Parameters:
    `calculate` - True if the value should be calculated if it hasn't been already.
  Returns:
    The output value, or NaN, if the value has not been calculated.

### errorValue

    public abstract double errorValue(boolean calculate)

  Call this to get the error value of this unit.

  Parameters:
    `calculate` - True if the value should be calculated if it hasn't been already.
  Returns:
    The error value, or NaN, if the value has not been calculated.

### weightValue

    public double weightValue(int n)

  Call this to get the weight value on a particular connection.

  Parameters:
    `n` - The connection number to get the weight for, -1 if The threshold weight should be returned.
  Returns:
    This function will default to return 1. If overridden, it should return the value for the specified connection or if -1 then it should return the threshold value. If no value exists for the specified connection, NaN will be returned.

### updateWeights

                              double m)

  Parameters:
    `l` - The learning Rate to use.
    `m` - The momentum to use.

### getInputs
