QUOTE(zartek @ 29 May, 2008 - 12:40 PM)
the last line of code 'print...'
did not work, though the other conversion equation ounce/16 works just find, can you explain the last line of code to me?
Thanks again

It didn't work? That's strange, it worked in the Try Python online interpreter... (I was at school and couldn't test on a PC with
actual Python)
...
Testing my code at home now. The last line is working for me, however
pounds = str(ounces/16) isn't. %s is just another way of printing a string variable instead of doing
print 'Weight is ", pounds, ' lbs'. It says, "Take %s and fill in the variable _____ for that placeholder", with the variable being the one after the % at the end. It works with multiple variables too. For example...
python
var_1 = 'Hello'
var_2 = 'my'
print '%s World, %s name is Andy' % (var_1, var_2)
would print "Hello World, my name is Andy".
Sorry I can't help with that line though, as it works for me. What version of Python are you using?
