So, what does this tool do?
Basically, it takes a value and multiplies / divides this value with a factor based on the user’s input.
def getKey(list,value):
return dict((v, k) for k, v in list.items())[value]
Okay I have no idea what this does
while True:
[... code ...]
quitCMD = input('Do you want to quit?\ny/n ')
if quitCMD == 'y':
break
As long as this operator is True, the program will restart itself. quitCMD asks for the user’s input, if the user enters ‘y’ the program quits.
#e
print('\n')
print('------- Unit Conversion Tool -------\n')
print('For help type "help".')
print(’\n’) simply prints an empty line.
The other two prints simply print basic information
operationWanted = input('\n' + 'Do you want to view the list of possible unit conversions? \ny/n ')
This is the first input the user can enter.
If the input is ‘y’, it will call a function to print the next part.
operationWantedYes = '\nPossible units to choose from:\n[m] [dm] [cm] [mm] [miles] [yards] [leagues] [inches] [foots]'
This will be printed, if operationWanted is equal to ‘y’.
To be continued...
(Actually, I won't finish this as I only wanted to mess around with some markdown etc. [though the program indeed exists and can be downloaded but I won't maintain this documentation])
