#🔒 need help w my feet to meters converter(im new to python)
viral trench
use codeblocks please... what is this? -_-
faint rain
i dont know how to do that
!code is how to make formatted code
fervent folioBOT
faint rain
!paste is for big code

ok ill just remake the post
faint rain
You can use this one, your call. You don't need to use a gist.

sorry, i did not know that this command exists, im not much used to the python bot

im very new to python lol this code is gonna hurt yall

import math
def math.to_feet(meters):
def display_menu():
print("Conversions Menu")
print("1. Feet to Meters")
print("2. Meters to Feet")
print()
#does the math
import math
def math.to_feet(meters):
feet = meters / 0.3048
return feet
def math.to_meters(feet):
meters = feet * 0.3048
return meters
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()```This does not make any sense.
Importing "math" is how you use functions that are declared in the math module.
viral trench
math.to_feet is already a function...
silver bay
ok
faint rain
def math.to_feet(meters): should just be: def to_feet(meters):
viral trench
i mean wait im confused
silver bay
yeah im terrible at ts
odd tartan
yeah im terrible at ts
ts?..
viral trench
this*
faint rain
yeah im terrible at ts
So, let's first get rid of the "math." in the function names. Then run the code to make sure it's "valid" code. (it won't do what you want yet, but let's just make it right)

sorry sorry, ill let u mb
faint rain
sorry sorry, ill let u mb
You're good
silver bay
its valid
silver bay
Store the code that performs the feet to meters and meters to feet conversions in functions within a
module.
Store the code that displays the title in its own function, and store the code that displays the menu in
its own function, but store the rest of the code that gets input and displays output in the main()
function
faint rain
Great, so you have functions for ft to meters and vice versa in a module. First part is done.
I don't see "code that displays the title in its own function".
And, I don't see code that "gets input" or "displays output".
silver bay
yeah ill add that rq
odd tartan
You're good
sorry but can u ban a kid named alexkso729, trying to pull off some bitcoin scam, told him i have 1.2 mill, some idiot.
i can send you the screenshots just not here
faint rain
sorry but can u ban a kid named alexkso729, trying to pull off some bitcoin scam...
DM modmail plz.
odd tartan
okay
faint rain
Read your instructions carefully: "in
its own function"
faint rain
Show the code
viral trench
where is the input?
silver bay
oops one sec i thought i put that
im so sorry yall are having to help me lol im so bad at this
faint rain
no syntax errors
And, the instructions call for a main() function.
silver bay
ok
faint rain
im so sorry yall are having to help me lol im so bad at this
It's fine, we like to help (when people want to learn).

i wanna get better at this lol

i wanna get better at this lol
repetition, and asking lots of questions.
it's overwhelming at first
silver bay
it is tbh
odd tartan
it's overwhelming at first
no ones answering mod mail
faint rain
no ones answering mod mail
give it time, it's not urgent.
odd tartan
might be if someone falls for it, never know
silver bay
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/MFXQ i added the choice 1 and is it valid
faint rain
Ok, so you've defined 4 functions, but haven't used them yet
Your original code had this: ```py
if name == "main":
main()
yeah
faint rain
Put that back in, and define a main() function.
The main function should call your other functions
silver bay
The main function should call your other functions
so i put the main function at the top
silver bay
Your original code had this: ```py
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
```
how do i do a codeblock like this
odd tartan
!code

def main():
def to_feet(meters):
feet = meters / 0.3048
return feet
def to_meters(feet):
meters = feet * 0.3048
return meters
def title():
print("Feet and Meters Converter")
print()
def conversion():
option = int(input("Select a conversion (1/2)"))
if option == 1:
f = to_feet(m)
f = round(f, 2)
elif:
option = int(input("Select a conversion (1/2)"))
if option == 2:
m = to_feet(f)
m = round(m, 2)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()```Don't put functions in your functions.
You had 4 functions. Leave those alone. Create a new function that calls them... just like converstion calls the other functions.

gpt wont do what they did in line#1
silver bay
i dont gpt i have had 0 coding experience before the class
so this is all extremely new to me
viral trench
okay, basically dont do the def... stuff inside a def
correct the indentation
define functions normally then use them in def main
crimson crypt
wait where is your main()?
viral trench
wait where is your main()?
line#2
silver bay
def main():
def to_feet(meters):
feet = meters / 0.3048
return feet
def to_meters(feet):
meters = feet * 0.3048
return meters
def title():
print("Feet and Meters Converter")
print()
def conversion():
option = int(input("Select a conversion (1/2)"))
if option == 1:
f = to_feet(m)
f = round(f, 2)
elif option == 2:
m = to_feet(f)
m = round(m, 2)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()```Hey @silver bay!
silver bay
ok
silver bay
yeah
crimson crypt
want me to give you the answer or try out the input() thing :)
silver bay
i mean im trying my best top figure out how to call funcs i have my boom right beside me lol
viral trench
you didnt actually did anything inside the main function aside from defining other functions...
crimson crypt
i mean im trying my best top figure out how to call funcs i have my boom right b...
for example you are alling the main() right?
silver bay
for example you are alling the `main()` right?
yeah i wanna call a func to give me output for it
to start it
crimson crypt
you need a for example
def main():
print("Wow!")
if __name__ = "__main__":
main()
call the conversion function in main
crimson crypt
yeah i wanna call a func to give me output for it
rename your display display_menu() to main
Tip:- always import packages on the top
viral trench
tip2: dont import a package of you dont need
crimson crypt
```import math
def main():
def to_feet(meters):
feet = meters / 0.3...
this is chaotic X_X
crimson crypt
we can give you the answer right away but you should try it first :) we'll fix the errors :D if we can lol
silver bay
i would rather not get the answer striaght away
silver bay
return feet
def to_meters(feet):
meters = feet * 0.3048
return meters
def title():
print("Feet and Meters Converter")
print()
print("Conversions Menu")
print("a. Feet to Meters")
print(" b. Meters to Feet")
def main():
title()
while True:
display_menu()
option = input("Select a conversion (a/b): ").lower
def display_menu():
option = int(input("Select a conversion (a/b)"))
if option == 'a':
m = float(input("Enter Feet: "))
meters = to_feet(f)
f = round(f, 2)
print("Feet to Meters:", f)
elif option == 2:
f = float(input("Enter Meters: "))
m = to_feet(f)
m = round(m, 2)
print("Meters to Feet:", m)
another = input("Would you like to perform another conversion? (y/n): ").lower()
if another != 'y':
print("Thanks, bye!")
break
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()```it gives me output now
but my break funtion says its outside loop

``` feet = meters / 0.3048
return feet
def to_meters(feet):
meters =...
wrong indentation
silver bay
Ok
crimson crypt
``` feet = meters / 0.3048
return feet
def to_meters(feet):
meters =...
my brain hurts X_X
faint rain
``` feet = meters / 0.3048
return feet
def to_meters(feet):
meters =...
Lower is a function. You need to call lower() to use it
