Python Trouble

[melvin]

Hello everyone. I am making a conversion calcualtor in python and I am having trouble, what is wrong with my code:


print"""
Welcome to the conversion calculator!
"""
print"""
Please make a choise from the following options

1. Temperatures
2. Distance Rate and Time
"""
c1 = raw_input("Please type the number of your choise : ")
if c1 = 1:
print "You have selected temperatures"

Come on! I need help here!

Come on! I need help here!

And I need to wake up after an all nite hacking spree

First of, you're using raw_input() this is for inputting strings, so your value to compare will be a type integer compared with a read string, so I'd suggest you use input() instead of raw_input()

Second, you're using the assignment operator for comparing c1 with your read value, this will not go.. so use

if c1 == 1:

this would make your program look like this:

#!/usr/bin/python

print "Welcome to the conversion calculator!"
print """
Please make a choise from the following options

1. Temperatures
2. Distance Rate and Time
"""

c1 = input("Please type the number of your choise : ")
if c1 == 1:
  print "You have selected temperatures"

And May I say, learning python as the first language of choice is a wise move... I'm glad to see that approach from you melvin
