Hi Everyone,
SO it's friday, I'm tired, and I can't seem to think straight... I
am attempting to do some very basic math with some arrays... Here's
the pseudo code that I'm working with:
NumberOfPieces * PieceWeight = TotalWeight
explode total weight to get tenth's of pounds, then divide tenth's
of pounds by 16 to grab ounces.
What??
Why do you want tenth's of pounds? Just divide pounds by 16 and
you'll get ounces.
It's actually for a weight calculator that we use for some of our
mailings. when you take .226 and multiply that by 464 you get 104.864
ounces.
I need to be able to display that as: 6 # 13.824 Ounces.

Display TotalWeight # Exploded Ounces.
Which I have working just fine for a single set of boxes...
My problem is I want to be able to automatically add say 50 boxes
in a form to process the weight of each route...
How much does each box weight and how many boxes? That's all you need.
the routes can have anywhere from 1 piece to 800+ pieces. and we can
have as few as 1 route to as many as 50 or 60+

So what I need to do is probably use some kind of a counter to loop
through my $RoutePieces array and multiply by the $PieceWeight?
$PieceWeight is a static number.
Is $PieceWeight is a static number?
The last time I checked, the cost per oz for shipping depends upon
the weight. The more weight, the less the cost per ounce. Is that
not true?
Normally yes, but not in this case :) I'm using it so I don't have to
sit there and count out 464 postcards. I can just throw them on my
scale and get the total weight.

As for the code, that's pretty simple.
Then it's a simple "It's a friday thing" for me... My wife keeps
rubbing in that today is her last day of work until mid august... :P
