Feet/Feet-Inch-Fraction Conversions (compact format) - Eddie W. Shore - 10-22-2018 12:06 AM The two functions presented on this blog entry are FIFT (feet-inches-sixteenth of inches to feet) and FTFI (feet to feet-inches-sixteenth of inches). The format of the feet-inches-sixteenth of inches are as follows: FF: feet II: inches NN: sixteenth of an inch Example: 4.0107 -> 4 feet 1 inch 7/16 Example: 5.1108 -> 5 feet 11 inches 1/2 Example: 3.06142 -> 3 feet 6 inches 14.2/16 There is no rounding or fraction simplification involved with this format. HP Prime Program FIFT: FF.IINN to Feet Code:
Examples: FIFT(6.111) returns 6.96875 (6 ft 11 in 10/16 -> 6.96875 ft) FIFT(0.0808) returns 0.70833333333 (8 in 8/16 (8 in 1/2) -> 0.70833333333 ft) HP Prime Program FTFI: Feet to FF.IINN Code:
Examples: FTFI(5.78125) returns 5.0906 (5.78125 ft -> 5 ft 9 in 6/16 (5 ft 9 in 3/8)) FTFI(4.05) returns 4.00096 (4.05 ft -> 4 ft 9.6/16 in) Link to blog post: https://edspi31415.blogspot.com/2018/10/hp-prime-feetfeet-inch-fraction.html RE: Feet/Feet-Inch-Fraction Conversions (compact format) - Albert Chan - 10-23-2018 04:48 PM It would be nice if both FTFI and FIFT can be combined as one, say feet() Float 6.111 is very hard to know its meaning. 6.111 ft ? 6 ft 11 in 10/16 ? I propose use imaginary number to signal the difference, a signal for multiple units (ft, in, 16th) 6 + 1110 i = 6 ft 11 in 10/16 6.111 = 6.111 ft Example: what is 5.78125 ft + (6 ft 11 in 10/16) ? feet(5.78125 + 6 + 1110 i) => 12.75 ft feet(12.75) => 12 + 900 i (12 ft 9 in) RE: Feet/Feet-Inch-Fraction Conversions (compact format) - BruceH - 11-28-2018 10:15 PM (10-23-2018 04:48 PM)Albert Chan Wrote: Float 6.111 is very hard to know its meaning. 6.111 ft ? 6 ft 11 in 10/16 ?
