Converting inches into feet and inches

I am currently taking a introduction to programming class and have reached a problem. I have been asked to convert a height measurement from inches to feet & inches.

I have gotten to the point were I think I mostly have it but I get a not a statement error when I go to compile. Here is what I have so far for this method

/**
 * @param inches to feet inches
 */
public String inchToFeet(int heightInInches) {
    int IN_PER_FOOT;
    int feet = heightInInches - IN_PER_FOOT;
    String output;

    feet = feet / 12;
    output = String; inchToFeet() + "\'" + IN_PER_FOOT.toString() + "\"";
    return output;
}

I am also using a static final int to keep the inches per foot constrained to 12, like this.

public static final int IN_PER_FOOT = 12;

This is really the only issue I am having at the moment, the rest it just getting it along with a hourly rate to display.

Edit:

The compile error I keep getting is 'Not a Statement'. I have also removed the semicolon from before the last String but got another error as it was looking for the semicolon.

I will try your suggestion in a little Rahul, been looking at this for to long and need a break.

After Searching on StackOverflow and another website I made Ft->cm and cm->ft by combining 2-3 answers. Can come in handy

   fun feetToCentimeter(feetval: String): String {
            var heightInFeet = 0.0
            var heightInInches = 0.0
            var feet = ""
            var inches = ""
            if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(feetval)) {
                if (feetval.contains("'")) {
                    feet = feetval.substring(0, feetval.indexOf("'"))
                }
                if (feetval.contains("\"")) {
                    inches = feetval.substring(feetval.indexOf("'") + 1, feetval.indexOf("\""))
                }
            }
            try {
                if (feet.trim { it <= ' ' }.isNotEmpty()) {
                    heightInFeet = feet.toDouble()
                }
                if (inches.trim { it <= ' ' }.isNotEmpty()) {
                    heightInInches = inches.toDouble()
                }
            } catch (nfe: NumberFormatException) {
            }
    
            return (((heightInFeet * 12.0) + heightInInches) * 2.54).toString()
        }
    
        fun centimeterToFeet(centemeter: String?): String {
            var feetPart = 0
            var inchesPart = 0
            if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(centemeter)) {
                val dCentimeter = java.lang.Double.valueOf(centemeter!!)
                feetPart = Math.floor((dCentimeter / 2.54) / 12).toInt()
                println(dCentimeter / 2.54 - feetPart * 12)
                inchesPart = Math.floor((dCentimeter / 2.54) - (feetPart * 12)).toInt()
            }
            return String.format("%d' %d\"", feetPart, inchesPart)
        }

Try this code

int inches = 40;
int feet = (int)inches / 12;
int leftover =(int) inches % 12;
System.out.println(feet + " feet and " + leftover + " inches");

Your code doesnt seem to work what you want. You may simply try like this:-

int inches = 40;
int feet = inches / 12;
int leftover = inches % 12;
System.out.println(feet + " feet and " + leftover + " inches");
