Hi!
i'm new to python and would like some help with something i was working on
from a tutorial. I'm using VScode with 3.7.0 version on Windows 7. Below is
my code and the terminal is showing the word "None" everytime I execute my
code.
Many thanks!
print("Conversion")
def km_mi():
return answer
selection = input("Type mi for miles or km for kilometers: ")
if selection == "mi":
n = int(input(print("Please enter distance in miles: ")))
answer = (1.6*n)
print("%.2f" % answer, "miles")
else:
n = float(input(print("Please enter distance in kilometers: ")))
answer = (n/1.6)
print("%.2f" % answer, "kilometers")
answer = km_mi
Without claiming to speak for @Calvin, I think the original question was
reasonably clear (albeit incomplete), but the code-answer doesn't seem
to fit together and thus invites the question about 'intention'.
Here's a question or two: is this a course-assignment? If so, which
course and is the full question and course-content leading to this point
available on-line? A bunch of people here could write the code. However,
that won't help you learn Python!
Let's look at the code and the email text:
- does the term "None" mean that even the "Conversion" heading/intro
does not appear?
- what is the purpose of the function?
- if the two branches of the if statement each print a result, what is
the purpose of the last line?
- is the specification that the program computes (exactly) one result,
or is it expected to repeat an input-calculate-output cycle?
- by "terminal" are you referring to the one built-in to VS-Code, or
something else?
Please be advised that everyone here is volunteering his/her assistance,
so the more you help us, the better we can help you! Also, are you aware
that there is a Python-Tutor list specifically for Python trainers and
trainees?
