Javascript class for handling chaotic imperial dimensions as typed by end users. Create a new Inches instance by passing the input to the constructor. The length of an instance of inches is always saved in the parts property which is a plain object with the following properties: this.parts = { f: // The number of feet (integer). i: // The number of inches (integer). If this is greater than this.max_inches, the inches will be carried into this.parts.f num: // The numerator of the fraction that is understood to have the denominator 2048. This allows for a quickly formatted imperial string or a quickly calculated decimal value. }
The above plain object is returned by the ._process() method which takes integers, floats, other instances of Inches, just the parts property of an Inches instance or any of the the following chaotic string formats as input:
1ft -1ft (will be saved as negative) -0 1/2 (will be saved as negative) -1' 0 1/2" (will be saved as negative) 1 foot 3 inches 1/16" 1/15" [.str() method will round fractions to the nearest this.inc'th] 0.125 (float) '0.125' (string but will be treated as float) 1'-6 1/4" 1'-6-1/4" 1' 6-1/4" 1ft-6 1/4in 1ft 6 1/4in 1foot 6 1/4 inches 1 foot 1/4 inches 2 feet 6 1/4 inches 2 6 1 4 (space separated "feet inch numerator denominator") 6 1 4 (space separated "inch numerator denominator") etc.
the .add() and .less() and .update() methods will take the same types of inputs as the constructor.
