Python Basic: Exercise-61 with Solution

Write a Python program to convert the distance (in feet) to inches, yards, and miles.

Unit Equivalents Conversion Factors
(longer to shorter units of measurement)		 Conversion Factors
(shorter to longer units of measurement)
1 foot = 12 inches 12 inches
_______
1 foot		 1 foot
_______
12 inches
1 yard = 3 feet 3 feet
_______
1 yard		 1 yard
_______
3 feet

Pictorial Presentation:

Convert the distance (in feet) to inches, yards, and miles

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

d_ft = int(input("Input distance in feet: "))
d_inches = d_ft * 12
d_yards = d_ft / 3.0
d_miles = d_ft / 5280.0

print("The distance in inches is %i inches." % d_inches)
print("The distance in yards is %.2f yards." % d_yards)
print("The distance in miles is %.2f miles." % d_miles)

Sample Output: 

Input distance in feet: 100                                                                                   
The distance in inches is 1200 inches.                                                                        
The distance in yards is 33.33 yards.                                                                         
The distance in miles is 0.02 miles.

Python: Tips of the Day

Find current directory and file's directory:

To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)

To get the current working directory use

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()

Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:

  • The os and os.path modules.
  • The __file__ constant
  • os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
  • os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
  • os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
  • os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
