I'm working with Python and I have nearly written some code as part of a required assignment.
#------Unit converter------#
#-------Challenge 5-------#
#-------Definitions-------#
def currencyConvert():
print("C")
def tempConvert():
print("T")
def massConvert():
print("M")
def volConvert():
print("V")
#-------Executions--------#
print("Welcome to my unit converter.\nIn this software, you can convert between the following things:")
print(" - Currency: United States Dollar (USD), Pound Sterling (GBP) and Serbian Dinar (RDS).")
print(" - Temperature: Fahrenheit (F) and Celsius (C)")
print(" - Mass: Pounds (lbs) and grams (mg/g/kg)")
print(" - Volume: Fluid ounces (fl oz) and litres (ml/cl/l")
def phaseOne():
global unitType
print("--------------------")
unitType = input("What kind of conversion would you like to make? Currency (C), temperature (T), mass (M) or volume (V)?\n>>>")
if unitType == "C" or "c":
currencyConvert()
elif unitType == "T" or "t":
tempConvert()
elif unitType == "M" or "m":
massConvert()
elif unitType == "V" or "v":
volConvert()
else:
print("That is not a valid input. Please try again.")
phaseOne()
phaseOne()
My problem is that when I run the program and input "V", I would expect the volConvert() function to be called (therefore outputting "V") but instead it returns "C". What is causing this?
I do not have skills with Python yet, but I am working on it and need some minor help.
Thank you!
