How the calculation works
V12 calculation: heightPass=boxHeight≤shelfClearHeight; countA=floor(shelfWidth/boxWidth)×floor(shelfDepth/boxDepth); countB=floor(shelfWidth/boxDepth)×floor(shelfDepth/boxWidth); maxBoxCount=heightPass?max(countA,countB):0. This is the implementation specification for this calculator.
Worked example
Example: Closet shelf width = 100 cm; Shelf depth = 60 cm; Clear shelf height = 40 cm; Box width = 50 cm; Box depth = 45 cm; Box height = 45 cm. Result: Max Box Count = 0; Count B = 2; Count A = 2; Height Pass = Does not pass.
