conversion to imperial units (fractions)
- Thread starter ttuser4
- Start date
If you already have the script in VB and PHP it should be simple to adapt them to javascript.
The formulas remain the same.
1 lb = 2.2 kg
1 inch = 2.54 inches.

Surely you mean 1 inch = 2.54 centimetres?

Actually both values are incorrect.
It should be:
1kg = 2.2 pounds
and 1 in = 2.54 cm
I have no idea what was going on with me when I posted that.
Sorry about that.

can you help me to "convert" this php into javascript?
<?php
$mm=35831; #input value, for example 35831
$denom = 16;
$rnd = 1.0/$denom;
$in = $mm / 25.4;
$in_f = $in - floor($in);
$in_i = floor($in);
$n = ceil($in_f / $rnd);
$dv = gcd($n, $denom);
$n /= $dv;
$denom /= $dv;
$in_str = "{$n}/{$denom}";
$inches = $mm."mm=".$in_i." ".$n."/".$denom." inch";
echo $inches;
function gcd($a, $b) {
if ($a == 0)
return $b;
while($b > 0 && $a > 0) {
if ($a > $b)
$a -= $b;
else
$b -= $a;
}
return $a;
}
?>
<?php
$mm=35831; #input value, for example 35831
$denom = 16;
$rnd = 1.0/$denom;
$in = $mm / 25.4;
$in_f = $in - floor($in);
$in_i = floor($in);
$n = ceil($in_f / $rnd);
$dv = gcd($n, $denom);
$n /= $dv;
$denom /= $dv;
$in_str = "{$n}/{$denom}";
$inches = $mm."mm=".$in_i." ".$n."/".$denom." inch";
echo $inches;
function gcd($a, $b) {
if ($a == 0)
return $b;
while($b > 0 && $a > 0) {
if ($a > $b)
$a -= $b;
else
$b -= $a;
}
return $a;
}
?>

Something like this?
The only changes were:
- Defining variables with var and removing $ (although $ is a valid variable prefix in JS, I dislike it outside of PHP).
- Prefixing floor and ceil with "Math."
- String manipulation tweaking
- Renaming the variable 'in'.
Hope this helps,
Dan
