Decimal to fraction conversion

[tico]

tico,

(ignores all the hard feelings going back and fourth)

As far as your original problem goes, how do you intend to hold a fractional number in memory? PBP only handles integers (sad but true).

So you are limited to schemes such as working with your values scaled up by say 1,000, so 1/16 would be stored as 62 (1/16 * 1000 and truncated to an integer) and you can divide by 62 to see how many 1/16 pieces it has.

I thought that I could use the method described in post 2 or 3

divide say 11.5 to get the following results
5/16 Vector1
15/16 Vector2
1 11/16 Vector3
2 5/8 Vector4
3 15/16 Vector5
5 3/4 Vector6Center
7 9/16 Vector7
8 7/8 Vector8
9 13/16 Vector9
10 9/16 Vector10
11 3/16 Vector11

I was hoping that this is possible to do with PBP, If I am wrong plese let me know. I am going to begin writing some code to do this tommorow.


opps forgot the formula..... as in excel
Round ((11.5/2) -((11.5/2)*(0.9)^0.5),3 = 5/16
I am hoping that PBP can process this type of formula, if not its back to the drawing board
