How to Create a Kilometer to Miles Converter in Python

In this tutorial, we will create a "How to Create a Kilometer to Miles Converter in Python". This tutorial will teach you how to program a converter from kilometers to miles. We will tackle and try to understand the concept of this program and learn to code this converter app. I will provide a sample program to demonstrate the actual coding of this tutorial.

This tutorial is simple and easy to understand; just follow the instructions I provide, and you can also do it yourself with ease. The program will try to convert the kilometer value into miles. I will do my best to provide you with the most easiest method of creating this program, called "Kilometer to Miles Converter". So, let's start with the coding.

Getting Started:

First you will have to download & install the Python IDLE's, here's the link for the Integrated Development And Learning Environment for Python https://www.python.org/downloads/.

Creating Main Function

while True:
 
    ret=False
 
    print("\n\n================ Kilometer to Miles Converter App ================\n\n")
    kilometers = float(input("Enter value in kilometers: "))
 
 
    conv_fac = 0.621371
 
 
    miles = kilometers * conv_fac
    print('%0.2f kilometers is equal to %0.2f miles' %(kilometers,miles))
 
    user_input=input("\n\nDo you want to convert again? (Yes/No): ")
    print("\n\n")
    if user_input.lower()=='no':
       print("Exit program.")
       break
 
    elif user_input.lower()=='yes':
       ret=True
 
    else:
       print("Wrong input.")
       ret=True

In the code that I provided, the first thing you will see is that we enclose the whole code with a while loop to ensure the continuous running of the program.

Next, we set some variables that will take the kilometer value and also set the conversion factor. We will now use a formula to calculate the conversion for the miles value.
