convert meters to feet and inches in matlab

To convert a length from meters to feet and inches in MATLAB, you can use the following code:

main.m
% Define the length in meters
length_m = 2.5; % for example

% Convert meters to feet
length_ft = length_m / 0.3048;

% Extract the whole number of feet and the remaining inches
feet = floor(length_ft);
inches = (length_ft - feet)*12;

% Print the result
fprintf('%.1f meters is equal to %d feet and %.1f inches\n', length_m, feet, inches);

This code first defines the length in meters (length_m). It then converts the length to feet by dividing it with the conversion factor of 0.3048, which is the number of meters in a foot. The whole number of feet is extracted using the floor function, while the remaining inches are calculated by subtracting the feet from the length in feet and multiplying the result by 12, which is the number of inches in a foot. The result is then printed using the fprintf function.

You can replace the value of length_m with any length in meters that you want to convert to feet and inches.
