If I ask the user to enter a float number (units are feet), how can I manipulate the variables so that the output is an integer in feet and a float in inches? I tried to just cut off the decimals (to get my feet unit) by simply making the float "feet" equal to int "feet". But when I do that I get the error message: warning, assignment to 'int' from 'float'.

someInt = int(someFloat)
or something like that? i think. if that doesnt work i can do a little more research for you
EDIT ohhh..... now i get what you are trying to do.
you need to use multiplication, mod, and division, as well as integer division. you want me to be a good teacher or just give you the answer?

That's what I would do. I believe it's called type cast!

here is what i would do. take the number that the user puts in 4.5 feet and multiply by 10. then do integer division on it, / 10 - and save the result - 4 as feet. then do % mod on it, which returns the remainder. 45 mod 10 = 5. divide that by 10, float style, to get .5 and then multiply by 12 - for inches. 6!
thats not the most efficient way to do it, but its good to know how to do that if you ever need to do funny things like that - ie seperate out input into 1000 100 10 and 1s places.
the most efficient way to do it is to multiply by 12 = 54. do integer division by 12, the answer is 4 (feet). then mod by 12 - 54 % 12 = 6 (inches).
either way should work, if i havent forgotten everything... and its probably best to understand how both ways work.

Just use a typeless language like perl and then not ever have to worry about that nonsense again.
$scalar power!
