How do I restart my program when its finished converting?

Posted 22 January 2012 - 11:51 PM 

q = 'quit'
ft = 'feet'
inc = 'inches'
yrds = 'yards'
x = input("What is the measurement type? Use inc, yrds or, ft. if you wish to quit, type q.")
if(x== 'quit'):
    print("Thankyou for useing this software")
    quit

if(x=='feet'):
    ft=input("What distance in feet?")
    x = input("Convert feet into what? Use yrds, or inc")
    if(x=='inches'):
        print 'your conversion of feet to inches is:', ft/12, \
        quit
    if(x=='yards'):
        print'your conversion of feet to yards is:', t*0.33333333, \
        quit

if(x=='inches'):
    inc = input("What distance in inches?")
    x = input("Convert into what? Use ft, or yrds")
    if(x=='yards'):
        print 'your conversion of inches to yards is:', inc/36,

    if(x=='feet'):
        print 'Your conversion of inches to feet is:', inc/12, \
        execfile

if(x=='yards'):
    yrds = input('What distance in yards?')
    x = input("What is your conversion type? Use inc or, ft.")
    if(x=='feet'):
        print 'your conversion of yards to feet is:', yrds/0.33333333, \

    if(x=='inches'):
            print "Your conversion of yards to inches is", yrds*36, \


This is using python just so you know.

Ummm...wrap the main routines in a loop?

x = input("What is the measurement type? Use inc, yrds or, ft. if you wish to quit, type q.")
if(x== 'quit'):
    print("Thankyou for useing this software")
    quit

Don't lie to your users. They need to type 'quit', not 'q'.

ROFL!
#Aggravation ware 2.0
x = input("Press space to quit.")
if(x=='q'):
  print("Thank you for using this software")
  quit

Such as a while loop which lets you loop a block of code an undefined number of times.

def main():
    x = raw_input("Hit q to quit: ")
    while(x != 'quit'):
        print("Haha you wish it was that easy!")
        x = raw_input("Hit q to quit: ")

main()
