error in return type int

Question about the task

Resolved

Implement the getFeetFromInches(int inches) method. The method takes the number of inches. Your task is to make the method return the number of full feet represented by the variable inches. (1 feet = 12 in).

Consider this example:
The getFeetFromInches method is called with the argument 243.

Example output:
20

Requirements:

The getFeetFromInches(int) method must be public and static.
The getFeetFromInches method must return an int.
The getFeetFromInches method should not display anything.
The getFeetFromInches method must correctly return the number of full feet represented by the variable inches.

package com.codegym.task.task01.task0131; /* More conversions */ public class Solution { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println(getFeetFromInches(28)); } public static int getFeetFromInches(int inches) { //write your code here // int fet = Math.round(0.8333); double Feet = 0.83 * inches; int Fet = (int) Math.round(Feet); return Fet; } }

You are making this harder that it needs to be. In the imperial measurement system, there are 12 inches per foot (plural feet) No conversion to decimal is needed, Java can do the work for you. !!! The condition asks for whole feet only. There is no need for <double> Example: 37 inches converted to feet according to the condition would be 3 feet. Example: 14 inches converted would be 1 foot. Example: 26 inches would be 2 feet. Ignore the remainder.

Your conversion from inches to feet is incorrect. It is not .83
