Solution 3: Weight Converter

weight = float(input("Weight: "))
unit = input("(K)g or (L)bs: ").upper()

if unit == "K":
    print(f"{weight}kg = {weight/0.45}lbs")
else:
    print(f"{weight}lbs = {weight*0.45}kg")

Uses conversion formulas with conditionals

4. Temperature Check

Categorize temperature into Hot/Nice/Cold

# Input: 25 → Output: Nice day

▶ Solution

Solution 4: Temperature

temp = float(input("Temperature: "))

if temp > 30:
    print("Hot day")
elif 20 <= temp <= 30:
    print("Nice day")
else:
    print("Cold day")
