Please help me find out what is wrong in this code.

Question

# I am a beginner and this is a short code that will convert the fluid given to a patient in mls through Soluset to drops per mins. A Soluset delivers 60 drops in one ml. Thank you

fluid = input ("What is the name of the fluid you want to give? ")
mls = input ("How many mls do you want to give via soluset: \n")
hours = input ("How long do you want to give it in hours: \n")

mins= input ("How long do you want to give it in minutes: ")

drops = float(mls) * 60
hours_min = float(hours) * 60

if hours == True:
soluset_hours = drops/hours_min
print ("The drops per min via soluset when giving "+ mls + " mls" + " of " + fluid + " is " + str(soluset_hours))

else:
if mins==mins:
mins=float(mins)
soluset_mins = drops/mins
print ("The drops per min via soluset when giving "+ mls + " mls" + " of " + fluid + " is " + str(soluset_mins))

If I put the
name of the fluid as "saline"
mls as 300
hours as 3 and
mins as 0 or just enter
It creates a traceback.
I will appreciate any help

Answer 1

The traceback keeps saying I can't convert the string mins to float.. That is where the problem is

Answer 2

Thanks a lot. Let me check again

Answer 3

Just checked and it is the same thing. It says
Value error: line 20
Could not convert mins to float

This happens when I press the enter button for input for mins

When I write zero instead, it tells me that I can't divide by zero

Answer 4

@swim can you try not to input anything for mins? Let's say you want to convert 300 mls in 3 hours

Answer 5

Hmm. Kk

Answer 6

Chisom check using different variable name except mins
