I'm new to learning python and creating a basic program to convert units of
measurement which I will eventually expand upon but im trying to figure out how
to loop the entire program. When I insert a while loop it only loops the first
2 lines. Can someone provide a detailed beginner friendly explanation. Here is
my program.
#!/usr/bin/env python
restart = "true"
while restart == "true":
#Program starts here
print "To start the Unit Converter please type the number next to the
conversion you would like to perform"
choice = input("\n1:Inches to Meter\n2:Millileters to Pint\n3:Acres to
Square-Miles\n")
#If user enters 1:Program converts inches to meters
if choice == 1:
number = int(raw_input("\n\nType the amount in Inches you would like to
convert to Meters.\n"))
operation = "Inches to Meters"
calc = round(number * .0254, 2)
print "\n",number,"Inches =",calc,"Meters"
restart = raw_input("If you would like to perform another conversion
type: true\n"
#If user enters 2:Program converts millimeters to pints
elif choice == 2:
number = int(raw_input("\n\nType the amount in Milliliters you would
like to convert to Pints.\n"))
operation = "Milliliters to Pints"
calc = round(number * 0.0021134,2)
print "\n",number,"Milliliters =",calc,"Pints"
restart = raw_input("If you would like to perform another conversion
type: true\n")
#If user enter 3:Program converts kilometers to miles
elif choice == 3:
number = int(raw_input("\n\nType the amount in Kilometers you would
like to convert to Miles.\n"))
operation = "Kilometers to Miles"
calc = round(number * 0.62137,2)
print "\n",number,"Kilometers =",calc,"Miles"
restart = raw_input("If you would like to perform another conversion
type: true\n")
