How can we help you if we have no idea of what level of programming experience you have attained. Can you write functions? Can you declare variables? What about mathematics? If you can already do all these things then make an attempt to accomplish problem "(a)" and then ask us a specific question when you run into trouble. > (b) Now we’d like to be able to convert from cups to > milliliters, since metric measurements are easier to > convert between.

First make an attempt to solve problem "(a)". Chris gave some great advice however i would like to insert a "step 0" into his "advice list" (this is python after all ;-). * STEP 0: Learn how to convert from gallons to cups using a pencil and paper only. * STEP 1: Read docs and learn about functions (if applicable). * STEP 2: Try to write a python function that will take one parameter (representing the number of gallons) and then perform the mathematical equations required to deduce the number of cups in a gallon, THEN return the result. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
