Day 9 : Python Program to Convert Centimeters to Feet and Inches

 

def conversion(cm):

    

    total_inches = cm / 2.54

    feet = int(total_inches // 12) 

    inches = total_inches % 12 

    return feet, inches

cm = float(input("Enter length in centimeters: "))

feet, inches = conversion(cm)

print(f"{cm} cm is approximately {feet} feet and {inches:.2f} inches.")

Code Explanation

Function Definition

def conversion(cm):

This function takes one argument, cm, which represents the length in centimeters.

Conversion to Inches

total_inches = cm / 2.54

cm / 2.54: Divides the length in centimeters by 2.54 to convert it into inches.

Convert Inches to Feet and Remaining Inches

feet = int(total_inches // 12)

total_inches // 12: Uses floor division (//) to calculate the number of whole feet in the total inches.

int(): Converts the result to an integer, discarding the decimal part.

inches = total_inches % 12

total_inches % 12: Calculates the remainder after dividing total inches by 12, representing the remaining inches.

Return Values

return feet, inches

The function returns two values: the number of whole feet (feet) and the remaining inches (inches).

Input

cm = float(input("Enter length in centimeters: "))

Prompts the user to input a length in centimeters.

float(input(...)) ensures that the input can be a decimal number (e.g., 175.5).

Call the Function and Display the Result

feet, inches = conversion(cm)

Calls the conversion function with the input cm.

The returned values (feet and inches) are unpacked into two variables.

print(f"{cm} cm is approximately {feet} feet and {inches:.2f} inches.")

Formats the result:

{cm}: Displays the original input in centimeters.

{feet}: Displays the number of whole feet.

{inches:.2f}: Displays the remaining inches with two decimal places.
