title: iOS objective-C: using modulo on a float to get "inches" from Feet
body: <p>I am trying to make a simple objective-C height converter. The input is a (float) variable of feet, and I want to convert to (int) feet and (float) inches:</p>
  
  <pre><code>float totalHeight = 5.122222;
  float myFeet = (int) totalHeight; //returns 5 feet
  float myInches = (totalHeight % 12)*12; //should return 0.1222ft, which becomes 1.46in
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I keep getting an error from xcode, and I realized that the modulo operator only works with (int) and (long). Can someone please recommend an alternative method? Thanks!</p>
