2.3 Code Practice: Question 2 Write a program that inputs the length of two pieces of fabric in feet and inches (as whole number

Answer:

ft1 = int(input("Enter the Feet: "))

in1 = int(input("Enter the Inches: "))

ft2 = int(input("Enter the Feet: "))

in2 = int(input("Enter the Inches: "))

totalft = ft1 + ft2 + (in1 + in2) // 12

totalin = (in1 + in2) % 12

print("Feet: " + str(totalft) + " Inches: " + str(totalin))

Answer:

This example is implemented in Python 3:

fft = input("How many feet for Fabric A? ")

fin = input("How many inches for Fabric A? ")

sft = input("How many feet for Fabric B? ")

sin = input("How many inches for Fabric B? ")

print("Length for Fabric A is:", fft, "feet and", fin, "inches")

print("Length for Fabric B is:", sft, "feet and", sin, "inches")

INPUT:

How many feet for Fabric A? 5

How many inches for Fabric A? 5

How many feet for Fabric B? 1

How many inches for Fabric B? 1

OUTPUT:

Length for Fabric A is: 5 feet and 5 inches

Length for Fabric B is: 1 feet and 1 inches

Explanation:

To begin, define variables as follows:

• fft - represents the first fabric's feet
• fin - represents the first fabric's inches
• sft - represents the second fabric's feet
• sin - represents the second fabric's inches

Then, prompt the user for input using:

• input()

This function allows a prompt within the parentheses to guide user input. For example, "How many feet for Fabric A?"

After gathering the input, output the lengths of Fabrics A and B.

• print("TEXT HERE") - used for displaying a string. For numbers or variables, avoid surrounding them with quotes.

What if you want to combine strings and variables in one print statement?

Use this syntax:

• print("TEXT HERE", VARIABLE)

This merges the text and the variable within a single print call by placing a comma after the string.

Repeat this format to compose an entire sentence:

• print("TEXT 1:", VARIABLE1, "TEXT 2", VARIABLE2)

Important Note:

To perform arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /, %) on inputs, convert them to integers or floats. For example:

• fft = input("How many feet for Fabric A? ") - this input is a string.
• fft = int(input("How many feet for Fabric A? ")) - wrapping input() inside int() converts it to an integer. Alternatively, use float() if needed.
• Once converted, you can apply addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division on the variables.
