Let’s see how to handle unit conversion in Python. I’m taking cm to inch conversion as an example.
Cm to inch conversion
CM_IN_INCH = 2.54
def cm_in_inch(cm):
return cm / CM_IN_INCH
number_cm = float(input("How many cm do you want to convert to inch?"))
print("Entered number of %s centimeters equals %s inches" % (number_cm, round(cm_in_inch(number_cm), 2)))
Conversion code explanation
First, I defined the CM_IN_INCH constant which I will definitely use later.
Next, I defined a simple function that performs the conversion from cm to inches.
Then, I take input from the user.
And finally printing the result rounded to the two decimal places.
The result is as follows:
