My car is 166.7 inches long according to the specs. Car cover coverages are measured in feet and inches.
To compute how many feet and inches long my car is I used the following calculations. 166.7%12 13.8917 (-<.)166.7%12 0.891667 12x *(-<.)166.7%12 NB. the x is not required, imo 10.7 Which seems to suggest the car is 13 feet 10.7 inches long, right? Being a little annoyed at how difficult that calculation seems I decided to try to also see how many 16ths of an inch is added, so I did the following which seems to suggest between 11 and 12 sixteenths. 16x * (-<.) 12x *(-<.)166.7%12 NB. again, x is extra 11.2 I wonder if there is an easier way to do this, which in my recollection seems to be in the wheelhouse of Ian's Tabula or its brethren. I had expected #: to be involved in the calculations, but could not find such. -- (B=) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
