Hi!
As allready shown in your request for the "The Password Program" some day's
ago,
which has nearly the same problem as here.
Wrap your code into loop's:
why are you setting the select-Values directly in the functions defining the
menu's?
Why not just returning the selected value
e.g.:
def temp_menu():
print "1) Convert degrees Kevins to degrees Celsius"
print "2) Contvert Fahrenheit to Celsius"
print "3) Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit"
print "4) Convert Celsius to Kelvins"
print "5) Convert Kelvins to Fahrenheit"
print "6) Convert Fahrenheit to Kelvins"
print "7) Main Menu"
return (input("Choice: "))
and make the assignment in the main-Part:
temp_option=temp_menu()
So the function does not need to know which option the input should be assigned
and
it is also useable in other part's of the code.
Here's an extract of your calc-Part with while-Loops:
there is only one call to the menu-functions necessary and not in all
branches, because we return every time in the loop except, when the
return-Option is selected. There is simple a "break"-Statement to leave
the loop and go on outside the loop.
In my opinion, it would als be more readable, when you extract the
calculcation-Code
somewhere out of the big loop. Create a function for calculation and so on and
handle
in the functions the code, so it will become more "readable".
It would also be somewhat better, to have a unique Number for the "Main
Menu"-Option and not
everytime a different number to select the "Main Menu".
option=1
while option != 5:
option=main_menu()
if option == 1:
cal_opt=1
while cal_opt != 8:
cal_opt=cal_menu()
if cal_opt == 1:
X = input("First number:" )
Y = input("Second number:" )
print X, "+", Y, "= ",X + Y
elif cal_opt == 2:
X = input("First number:" )
Y = input("Second number:" )
print X, "-", Y, "= ",X - Y
elif cal_opt == 3:
X = input("First number:" )
Y = input("Second number:" )
print X, "*", Y, "= ",X * Y
elif cal_opt == 4:
X = input("First number:" )
Y = input("Second number:" )
if Y == 0:
print "Division by zero ot allowed!"
Y = input("Second number:" )
else:
print X, "/", Y, "= ",X / Y
elif cal_opt == 5:
X = input("First number:" )
Y = input("Second number:" )
if Y == 0:
print "Division by zero ot allowed!"
Y = input("Second number:" )
else:
print X, "/", Y, "= ",X / Y," R ", X % Y
elif cal_opt == 6:
X = input("First number:" )
Y = input("Power:" )
print X, "**", Y, "= ",X**Y
elif cal_opt == 7:
X = input("Number to be squared:" )
print "The square root of", X, " = ",X**0.5
elif cal_opt == 8:
break;
else:
print "That's not an option. Try again."
if option == 2:
...
One additional step is to make an independent menu-Function
def menu( args):
count=xrange(len(args))
for mycount,arg in zip( count,args):
print "%d) %s" % ( mycount, arg)
print "99) Main Menu"
return( input("Choice: "))
and just calling with the arguments
main_menu=[ "Calculate","Shapes","Temperature","Formulas","Quit" ]
calc_menu=["Add","Subraction","Multiplication","Division w/o remainder",
"Division with remaider","Exponation","Square roots" ]
option=menu(main_menu)
...
calc_option=menu(calc_menu)
....
