## Fractional number format
Internally, minmea stores fractional numbers as pairs of two integers: ``(value, scale)``.
For example, a value of ``"-123.456"`` would be parsed as ``(-123456, 1000)``. As this
format is quite unwieldy, minmea provides the following convenience macros for converting
Internally, minmea stores fractional numbers as pairs of two integers: ``{value, scale}``.
For example, a value of ``"-123.456"`` would be parsed as ``{-123456, 1000}``. As this
format is quite unwieldy, minmea provides the following convenience functions for converting
to either fixed-point or floating-point format:
* ``minmea_rescale(-123456, 1000, 10) => -1235``
* ``minmea_float(-123456, 1000) => -123.456``
* ``minmea_rescale({-123456, 1000}, 10) => -1235``
* ``minmea_float({-123456, 1000}) => -123.456``
## Coordinate format
NMEA uses the clunky ``DDMM.MMMM`` format which, honestly, is not good in the internet era.
Internally, minmea stores it as a fractional number (see above); for practical uses,
the value should be probably converted to the DD.DDDDD floating point format using the
following macro:
following function:
* ``minmea_coord(-375165, 100) => -37.860832``
* ``minmea_tocoord({-375165, 100}) => -37.860832``
