I am doing a simple program that takes input from the user (a temp. in degrees Celsius) and converts it to a temperature in Fahrenheit. The following program works: def conversion (): C = input ("Enter the temperature in degrees Celcius:\n") F = (9.0 / 5.0) * C + 32 print F conversion ()
However, if I try to use the raw_input function, and then convert the variable to an integer, it does not work: def conversion (): C = raw_input ("Enter the temperature in degrees Celcius:\n") int (C) F = (9.0 / 5.0) * C + 32 print F conversion () Am I missing a step on converting the variable C from a string to an integer, or is it not possible to do this? I get the error that it is not possible to concatenate a str and int. Thanks! Jessica Brink Business/Computer Teacher Northland Pines High School Eagle River, WI 715-479-4473 ext. 0701
