ASP - Converting Inches to Feet with Inches

I found this code online:

string feet = int.parse(44/12).ToString("n0") + " ft."; // Divide by 12 inches and remove the decimal

string inches = int.parse(44%12).ToString() + " in." // Get the remainder of the division of 12 for the inches

but I think that is using vb.net or C# and I am using classic asp with vbscript. Maybe I could get help converting the code to this version of ASP?

Thank again!

hi strickdd,

let me give that a try.

thanks!

i see it works partially.

the only problem so far i have seen is that if i have a value of 11 inches

then i get this on each field:

rsData("BoxLength_Feet") = 1
rsData("BoxLength_Inch") = 11

that is wrong, right?

in this case 11 inch = 0.916 feet

so the values in this case should be:

rsData("BoxLength_Feet") = 0
rsData("BoxLength_Inch") = 11

there is another example

when the inches are 18

rsData("BoxLength_Feet") = 2
rsData("BoxLength_Inch") = 6

i think 18 inches = 1 feet .5 inches

this is how i implemented the code:

these 3 variables contain the original inches values for the calculation.
BoxLength
BoxWidth
BoxHeight
            rsData("BoxLength_Feet") = cint(trim(request.form("BoxLength"))/12)
            rsData("BoxLength_Inch") = cint(trim(request.form("BoxLength")) MOD 12)
           
            rsData("BoxWidth_Feet") = cint(trim(request.form("BoxWidth"))/12)
            rsData("BoxWidth_Inch") = cint(trim(request.form("BoxWidth")) MOD 12)
           
            rsData("BoxHeight_Feet") = cint(trim(request.form("BoxHeight"))/12)
            rsData("BoxHeight_Inch") =cint(trim(request.form("BoxHeight")) MOD 12)      


Thank  you for your help.

Try this, haven't tested it here.

            rsData("BoxLength_Feet") = int(cint(trim(request.form("BoxLength")))/12)
            rsData("BoxLength_Inch") = cint(trim(request.form("BoxLength"))) MOD 12

billprew:

if working witht the following test values:

BoxLength = 244 in
BoxWidth = 21 in
BoxHeight = 15 in

after applying your calculation:

rsData("BoxLength_Feet") = cint(trim(request.form("BoxLength"))/12)
rsData("BoxLength_Inch") = cint(trim(request.form("BoxLength")) MOD 12)
       
rsData("BoxWidth_Feet") = int(cint(trim(request.form("BoxWidth")))/12)
rsData("BoxWidth_Inch") = cint(trim(request.form("BoxWidth"))) MOD 12
           
rsData("BoxHeight_Feet") = int(cint(trim(request.form("BoxHeight")))/12)
rsData("BoxHeight_Inch") = cint(trim(request.form("BoxHeight"))) MOD 12

Results:

BoxLength_Feet = 20
BoxLength_Inch = 4

BoxWidth_Feet = 1
BoxWidth_Inch = 9

BoxHeight_Feet = 1
BoxHeight_Inch = 3

It looks much better and accurate, but I still have a doubt.

the converter on this page:

http://www.onlineconversion.com/length_common.htm

tells me that an inch value of 21 should be equal to 1.75 feet and an inch value of 15 shoud be 1.25 feet.

why the calculation leave respectively me with

(21 inches)
BoxWidth_Feet = 1
BoxWidth_Inch = 9

(15)
BoxHeight_Feet = 1
BoxHeight_Inch = 3

I am not complaining at all. I appreciate your help. I just want to know why the differences.

Thank you so much.

Thank you for the explanation. I apologize for my ignorance.

No need to apologize, there are no bad questions, hope that helped.

Thank you both of you guys.

I tried my best to split the points fairly.

I ended up using bill's solution, but did not want to omit strickdd's recommendation either.

Best regards.

Welcome.
