Good morning, 

 

I need a hand please with code that takes height and converts it to a more detaliked version. 

 

Height would be entered like this for feet & inches: 600 (which means 6 feet & 0 inces). I would like it to to display as multi line like this please: 

 

Ft 6

In, 00

 

Thank you in advance.

How would you know if 111 means 11 feet and 1 inch or 1 foot and 11 inches?
You can only do it if the value has to be 4 numbers, for example, or if you artificially cap the maximum (and minimum) values, by assuming the value can't be lower than X or higher than Y. Either way, it's tricky.

So would it be best to use: Ft: 06 | In. 06 = 0606? Could it be done then? Chances of a 10 foot person or 1 foot person completing this are very slim, but I am okay with it being a four number format.

It is possible to do it so that if there are 3 digits it assumes the first one is feet and the last two are inches, and if there are are two it's one for each, I guess.
