    Hello,

    I am working on a configurator and was wondering if anyone knows how to convert the output to feet and inches or even a fraction of a foot. For example, if my output is 12.25 I would like the annotation to display 12’4″ or 12 1/4′. Anyone had this struggle in the past that can help me?

    Thanks in advance,

    Michael

    Hi,

    I believe the math is wrong in your solution and it will give an output that is way off. It is 39.37 inches in a meter so the correct math would be like this:

    feet = Math.floor(meters * 39.37)/12
    remainding inches = (meters * 39.37) mod 12 (use the puzzle remainder of to get the modulo operator)

    1 meter in your method returns 3'36" while the correct answer is 3'3.4". The error in the returned value is exponential. 12 meter would return the value 36'431.7" while correct would be 39'4.4"

    Se the images how I would do it with puzzles

    Here are a couple of ways to get even more precise output with fractions:

    1 meter returns this string: 3'3 6/16"
    12 meter returns this string: 39'4 7/16"

    :)
