Welcome to the Unit Converter page.
This page contains a brief description and implementation instructions for the project.
Project Description
Converts values between different units (e.g., kilometers to miles, pounds to kilograms). The user selects the type of conversion and inputs a value; the program calculates the equivalent.
Project Requirements
Python 3.x (no libraries needed).
How to Run the Project
- Write a script (e.g.
unit_converter.py) with a menu of conversions (e.g. “1. km↔mi, 2. kg↔lb”). - Run it:
python unit_converter.py. Choose a conversion and enter the amount; it displays the converted result.
Key Concepts Learned
- Arithmetic: Using conversion factors.
- User Interface: Building a simple text menu.
- Functions: (Optional) Writing functions for each conversion.
Possible Extensions
- Add more units (temperature, volume, currency).
- Allow continuous conversions in a loop.
- Handle invalid inputs (e.g. negative where not allowed).
