I mentioned before you should really avoid spaces in filenames

[lethal gyro]

dude

no

this issue is weird

its not related to my code i think

[spiral moss]

Can you show your pycharm window?

[lethal gyro]

dm me

[spiral moss]

Why?

Show it here

[lethal gyro]

just go in dms

u there?

[spiral moss]

No, please don't DM me. If you have any questions about python, you can ask it here

[lethal gyro]

how do i show u my screen

[spiral moss]

take a screenshot

[lethal gyro]

k

[gritty kelp]

You can share screenshots here

[spiral moss]

I don't see a file with V2 in the name

[lethal gyro]

oh i fixed it...

[spiral moss]

sounds like an old file that you deleted

[lethal gyro]

i did current file and it showed me the error

[lethal gyro]

I prob mixed em

current file fixes

i reversed it or sum again lol

[spiral moss]

but seriously don't use spaces in your file names

it will cause issues later on

[lethal gyro]

ok

weight_choice = float(input("Enter your weight: "))
unit_choice = input("Which unit do you want to choose (KG OR LBS): ")
if unit_choice == "KG":
    weight_choice == weight_choice*2.205
    print(weight_choice)
elif weight_choice == "LBS":
    weight_choice == weight_choice/2.205
    print(weight_choice)

does it look fine

@spiral moss

[spiral moss]

I mentioned previously that you shouldn't reuse the weight_choice variable for the new result

make a new variable

and I thought you were going to try and add a loop to it?

[lethal gyro]

i wanted to finish this first

so i dont get confused too much

[lethal gyro]

the elif result?

[spiral moss]

your variable weight_choice is the name you use for the input, but then you also use it for the converted result

so you're overwriting the old data

now you have no way of ever displaying to the user what their original value was

if you create a new variable, then you'll have more information

[lethal gyro]

but if i dont use the weight_choice variable to convert which i used in input then how will the code know what variable im using

OHH WAIT

Oh yes

new variable

ok

[lethal gyro]

If I were to create a new variable, what string would be in it

[spiral moss]

why would a string be in it?

It would be the result of your conversion

instead of reassigning it back to weight_choice, make a new variable

[lethal gyro]

isn't a variable this?

weight_choice = ""

[spiral moss]

why does it have to be a string?

[lethal gyro]

Um

[spiral moss]

weight_choice == weight_choice*2.205

[lethal gyro]

yeah

[spiral moss]

right now you're doing this for your conversion

I'm saying don't use the name weight_choice here

weight_choice = float(input("Enter your weight: "))

you're already using that name here

don't reuse the same name

[lethal gyro]

So i create a new variable

weight_choice_two

[spiral moss]

pick a meaningful name

[lethal gyro]

i suck at that

[spiral moss]

what does this line do?

I also just realized you're using == here

it should be =

[lethal gyro]

If I don't reuse py weight_choice
when doing py weight_choice = weight_choice*2.205
How would I multiply the weight with 2.205

[spiral moss]

the right side of the = is correct

use a different name on the left side

[merry root]

why?

he can just rewrite the variable

[lethal gyro]

it gives error

[spiral moss]

sure, but if you want to improve on the code by printing a message saying something involving their original weight, you can't

If the meaning of a variable has changed, it's best to use a different name

[lethal gyro]

weight_choice = weight_choice_two*2.205

this?

[spiral moss]

no, you have it flipped

and pick a meaningul name

[lethal gyro]

Oh i get it

only the left one has to be same cuz its multiplying

[spiral moss]

[lethal gyro]

i mean right

[merry root]

the multiplication is in the right side

[spiral moss]

the right side of the = is always evaluated first

[lethal gyro]

ye i suck at left right

[spiral moss]

then assigned to whatever is on the left of the =

[merry root]

lol

[lethal gyro]

weight_choice = float(input("Enter your weight: "))
unit_choice = input("Which unit do you want to choose (KG OR LBS): ")
if unit_choice == "KG":
    weight_choice_two = weight_choice*2.205
    print(weight_choice)
elif weight_choice == "LBS":
    weight_choice_two = weight_choice/2.205
    print(weight_choice)

This right?

Think i got it right

[merry root]

yea

try to run it

[lethal gyro]

k

[spiral moss]

yes, but now you can avoid printing twice

you can just print after the conditions

[lethal gyro]

theres a problem

[merry root]

yea trye

[lethal gyro]

when i type weight 24

[merry root]

what?

[lethal gyro]

it gives answer 24.0

i reversed again or sum

[spiral moss]

Yes, you're still printing the old message

you need to update it

[merry root]

use int(weight)

[spiral moss]

that's not the issue

[merry root]

it removers the .0 from numbers

[lethal gyro]

this aint it

im converting lbs to kg here

[spiral moss]

.

[lethal gyro]

um

[spiral moss]

you've made a new variable

that's what you should be printing

also use a better name like converted_weight

[lethal gyro]

oh yeah

[merry root]

oooh

[lethal gyro]

i always forget small details

[spiral moss]

weight_choice = float(input("Enter your weight: "))
unit_choice = input("Which unit do you want to choose (KG OR LBS): ")
if unit_choice == "KG":
    converted_weight = weight_choice*2.205
elif weight_choice == "LBS":
    converted_weight = weight_choice/2.205
print(converted_weight)  # Only one print needed

[merry root]

check DMs later @lethal gyro

[spiral moss]

It's important not to rush. If you make a mistake, it's ok, but take a moment to look it over

Learning how to debug your code is an important skill to practice

and if you only rely on others to solve your mistakes, you'll never learn

[lethal gyro]

debug meaning?

[merry root]

fix the errors

[spiral moss]

"figure out what's wrong with your code"

[lethal gyro]

OH GOT SMTH IS WRONG AGAIN

[merry root]

lol

whats that now?

[spiral moss]

take a moment

look it over

[lethal gyro]

k

[spiral moss]

think about what each line does

think about if something isn't where it should be

think about what each variable represents

you can use extra prints to see what certain variable's values are

and see if they're what you expect

[lethal gyro]

fixed it

I was multiplying 2.205 on the first conversion i had to divide

i gotta go somewhere i be back in 10 mins and then ima try the loop

k back

gotta eat now xd
