split the input string on the comma. If it matters accept values like 6' as 72 inches or 7 as 7 inches. convert each element to integers (i.e. a integer number of feet and an integer number of inches (0<=x<12) compute the total number of inches; In Python it could be:

I am currently taking a introduction to programming class and have reached a problem. I have been asked to convert a height measurement from inches to feet & inches. I have gotten to the point...

tot_inches = feet*12 + inches meters = tot_inches * 0.0254 As for input vs raw_input , it would help to know which version of Python you're using, as raw_input is a 2.X feature (not usable in 3.X).

OK — after googling and landing here I tried the above. Even though the post is related to converting Centimeters (CM) to inches, it comes up in Google for ANY conversion (and Inches to Feet and Inches in my case). For my project I was trying to convert INCHES to Feet and Inches (and yet here I am).

Work the problem in your head, first. How do you calculate inches, given a figure for feet and another for additional inches? Look to the convertToInches(double numFeet) method as a guide. You're not experiencing a Java or programming problem, but rather, one of conceptualizing the task at hand. –

leftoverInches = inches%feet; Suppose you gave it 13 inches. You would have feet = 1 (13 * 0.083 rounded down), and inches = 13 % 1 = 0. What you mean to do was. leftoverInches = inches%12; With 13, 13%12 = 1, which is indeed the number of leftover inches.

//Variable declarations int centimeters = 0 ; int inches = 0; int feet = 0; should be //Variable declarations double centimeters = 0 ; double inches = 0; double feet = 0; This will also allow your printf statements to keep on using %f to print the numbers. You will need to change your scanf statement to also use %f though.

In this insntance, I do the simple conversion of centimeters to inches, and then after that, count the number of feet in inches, then subtract that much from the final inches value. So, if I had, say, 38 inches, I would have Math.Floor(38 / 12) feet, or 3. Then inches would be set to 38 - (3*12), which is 2, giving a final result of 3 feet, 2 ...

I want to take a number from a table ( using sql server 2008 ) such as 720 and convert it to feet and inches with this: Format(Val(Length) \ 12,"00'") & Format(Val(Length) Mod 12,"00\""") This should be in a sql statement. I'm having trouble getting the syntax correct. Any help please?

NUMERIC() or DECIMAL() will work for a single column answer, but you'll need to decide if you're storing feet or inches. These fields use precise math and accurate storage. If you must store feet and inches, you'll need to either define your own datatype (which is fairly complicated) or use two NUMERIC() or DECIMAL() fields.
