Entering Fractions

[James Johnson]

Some of the HP models (including HP-32SII) had a fraction entry mode:

• {IntegerPart} "." {Numerator} "." {Denominator}

For example, keying "2.3.8" would result in 2-3/8 or 2.375.

As a woodworker, this is one of my go-to features.

I'd by the Plus42 version if it had that feature, even if the original HP-42S did not.

Thanks for your app!
