Temperature Converter in python

Question

I'm trying to do a simple converter, but I'm stucked in one particular area.
If someone knows how I can solve this, I appreciate.

while True:
scale = input('Which scale do you want to use? ')
options = input('Do you want to change scale? (y/n)')
if scale == 'c2f':
c2f = float(input('Type the value in Celsius: '))
f = (c2f * 1.8) + 32
print('The temperature is', f, 'Fahrenheit.')
elif scale == 'f2c':
f2c = float(input('Type the value in Fahrenheit: '))
c = (f2c - 32) / 1.8
print('The temperature is', c, 'Celsius')

I'm trying to fit this "options" var to let the user decide if it will continue or stop the program.
How can I fit this in?
Thanks in advance!

> a possible solution would be to place the question / input for changing the scale just at the end of the code.

> it would also make sense to add an input option for terminating the program. this could be 'x'.

see your code with the amendments in the attached file:

Alexandre Leal de Medeiros Martins Moura ,

i have updated the code file in my previous post. it gives you the ability to run the code in a visual debugger.

Thanks, Lothar!
Can you explain me what was the logic for the options.
I think I got it right, but there's something that is not fitting in my head.

Answer 4

scale = input('Which scale do you want to use? ');
options = input('Do you want to change scale? (y/n)');
if options == 'n':
print("You don't want to change scale")
exit()
if scale == 'c2f':
c2f = float(input('Type the value in Celsius: '))
f = (c2f * 1.8) + 32
print('The temperature is', f, 'Fahrenheit.')
elif scale == 'f2c':
f2c = float(input('Type the value in Fahrenheit: '))
c = (f2c - 32) / 1.8
print('The temperature is', c, 'Celsius')
