temp=int(input("What is the temprature?"))
nwtmp=int(temp-32)
if temp < 50:
  print("You are in",city,"The temprature is",nwtmp*5/9,"celsuis and it is winter")
elif temp < 65:
    print("You are in",city,"The temprature is",nwtmp*5/9,"celsuis and it is spring")
elif temp < 79:
    print("You are in",city,"The temprature is",nwtmp*5/9,"celsuis and it is fall")
elif temp > 80:

I am using Python IDLE

it would help to know where the error was found. what line.

You're trying to copy/paste a script into an interactive shell. You need to go to File > New File, then put the code in there, save it, then run it.

Also, put the nwtemp*5/9 in brackets with str in front like this:

str(nwtemp*5/9) as without it the print functions wont work because it doesn't allow integers only strings

You have to make a .py file and run it.

The print function accepts numbers fine.

ok then.

I started to write the code myself and it wouldn't let me do the nwtemp operation in the print statement

Thanks for correcting my mistake man

You need to use code tags:

I won't help you until do.

Oh ok I got it working by saving it and running. Thanks.

What's the error.

 

On my end when I tried to run it, typing in a city would cause an error unless it was a number.

[✪NaCl✪]

it doesnt show me a error the program just opens the immediatly closes

[Mira Yurizaki]

How are you launching the script?

[✪NaCl✪]

By duoble clicking it.

[Mira Yurizaki]

It's better to launch python scripts from a command prompt.

 

Anyway I found out that if you're entering strings for input, the input must contain quotes. Otherwise for some reason Python tries to resolve it as a variable.

Would not it just give me a error instead of crashing it?

It may be encountering a problem and close immediately because there's nothing else to do. Which is why you run it from the command prompt so you can see what happened.

[✪NaCl✪]

Ok so cmd prompt run type in program name? I 

[Mira Yurizaki]

Change the directory to the path where the script is and then type in:

python [name of script]

So say it was on my desktop and named w what would I type

with this code if you input 79 it would not do anything. You should change the last one to else. 

 

why do you set nwtmp and then do maths to it in the string? You should just do it when you set it.

 

printing will look much better if you do something like this

print("You are in {0}. The temperature is {1}".format(city, nwtmp*5/9))

Thanks for the info I just started today. But when I try and run the program it immediately crashes
