Foot-Inch Calculator 1.10.2.f
I am a licensed architect and, as you canimagine, I work with feet and inch numbers all of the time. Ilooked at many feet and inch calculators and could not find onethat worked the way I work when calculating feet and inch numbers.When I enter a number into a calculator, I want the flexibility touse a number that is feet and fractional inches, or feet anddecimal feet, or feet and decimal inches - basically, however Ifeel is correct for the number I'm about to enter. I get frustrated(irritated really) when I have to enter a number in the format inwhich the calculator works - I feel the calculator should work theway I work.I also want the numbers displayed the way I want. I prefer feet anddecimal inches. I may be the only person that feels this way but,for me, it really helps me work with the numbers easily which helpsget my projects done correctly.Since I could not find a feet and inch calculator that worked myway, I decided to make one. And here is is.This is just a regular calculator that also allows you to work withfeet and inch numbers. You can easily add, subtract, divide, ormultiply feet and inch numbers as well as non-feet and inch(scalar) numbers. I've tried to make it as easy as possible to usethe calculator.First, you can enter feet and inch numbers in a more natural way.For example:Regular feet and inch numbers: 1'2", or 1'2 1/2", or 1'2.5", or1'1/2" or 2'.5", all work.Or you can enter just feet: 1', or 1 1/2', or 1.5', or 1/2', or.5', all of these work.Or you can enter just inches: 1", or 1 1/2", or 1.5", or 1/2", or.5", all of these work too.A couple of notes about entering feet and inch numbers:1. If you enter a foot mark ('), the inch mark is optional.2. A space (└┘) is not needed between the foot and inchnumbers.3. A space (└┘) is required between everything and afraction.For this version, I have not included area calculations. This meansthat when you multiply a foot inch number with another foot inchnumber the answer is not square feet or square inches. To preventerrors, I made it work such that, when two foot inch numbers aremultiplied together, the second number is assumed to be a scalarnumber and the answer is based on this. For example: 9' times 9"equals 81', and 9" times 9' is 81" (6'9"). A future release willadd area calculations as well as volume calculations.
