Python tempature conversion

[Reason7194]

Hello everyone, I am practicing Python by making a small program that converts Farenheight to Celsius and vice versa. This is what I have so far: http://slexy.org/view/s20JTLkRwQ My output however was not what I was expecting which is, with choosing the number 55 and the Celsius option, "<function Celsius at 0x00BF6FA8>". My questions are, why does " "<function Celsius at" print out when i only expected the hex number to print? Later on I want to change the hex number to a Decimal number and I think I can do that with ord(), but I am still getting a type error saying that ord() expected a string length of 1. Could anyone point me in the direction to finding my mistakes?

I messed up with it a bit.

and this worked for you?

[Gatito]

Yep!

First edited the Celsius() to Celsius(user), same with Fahreneit. After that the program displayed a number as a result, yet the math was wrong (dunno why, the syntax looked right). After I edited the 9/5 to 1.8 the math worked.

Did my version displayed any error and if yes what.

Well there are no errors, but there is no output haha. The program stops after it asks for celsius or farenheight.

That's because Python 2.x is a little different from the 3.x that you're using.

Try this.

Edit: Whoops. Line 14 should be an elif.

I for myself used 2.7 on this and strange enough Vulpine's version doesn't produce any output on my side. Wondering...

Edit: It does work when I change if '1' == pick to if 1 == pick

Actually all that was needed was changing the 'if' statments '==' to 'in'.

Code: Select all

if '1' in pick:

So now that it works, why did my original code now work? Like why did it produce a hex number and a unexpected output. Just so that I know for later projects, Gaito and Vulpine pretty much just gave me the answer which is not necessarily what I needed.

2.7 is ftw.

The initial problem was that Reason's script was trying to use strings in a math formula. Does not compute. He was also forgetting to pass his user variable to the methods.
