Sorry I'm just starting to learn python and I'm not sure what version I'm using
to be quite honest. I just started typing it up in Komodo edit (Which I'm not
personally a fan in particular) I fixed the missing parenthesis which fixed the
invalid syntax problem. Also, I apologize for submitting code that did not run.
This is the code I have now before I tried looping it again:
#!/usr/bin/env python
#Program starts here
print "To start the Unit Converter please type the number next to the
conversion you would like to perform"
choice = raw_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:
#operation = "Inches to Meters"
number = int(raw_input("\n\nType the amount in Inches you would like to
convert to Meters.\n"))
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:
#operation = "Milliliters to Pints"
number = int(raw_input("\n\nType the amount in Milliliters you would like
to convert to Pints.\n"))
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:
#operation = "Kilometers to Miles"
number = int(raw_input("\n\nType the amount in Kilometers you would like to
convert to Miles.\n"))
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")
Not sure what you meant to exactly by this:
"There's a lot of duplicated code here, most notably your continuation
condition. You can simply back-tab after the elif block and have some
code that reunites all the branches; this would also make things
clearer"
Thanks for your reply and if you have any ideas for me to improve my coding
that will prevent me from learning python in a sloppy way. I'd like to learn it
correctly the first time!
