I still don't get why you insist on making your life more complicated by coupling two unrelated things in your class. It's not hard to see how that could get worse: imagine you now want to write the result of a conversion to a file. Would that go in your conversion methods too? Yet more code in there that obscures the real intent of the methods. Each to their own, though.

Functions are indented at the same level as a class declaration (all the way to the left). Methods are indented one level from the class declaration.
def func(*args): # Function declaration all way to left
return sum(args) # Body is indented one level
class MyClass: # Class declaration all the way to the left
x = 2 # This is part of the class. It creates a class variable named "x"
def method(self, *args): # Method declaration indented 1 level from class declaration
return sum(args) # Method body indented one level from method declaration
y = 5 # This is still in the class. Creates a class variable named "y". Should be up by x = 2.
x = MyClass() # Code outside any function or method all the way to the left
print(x.method(1, 2, 3, 4))

Thanks Dean this is going in my note book. This is a synthesis info iv been looking for a while.
ndc, i am not sure what you are referring too;
Quote:coupling two unrelated things in your class.
are you talking about conversionF and conversionC? Cause this is what the book in my python class is asking in the assigment. I do agree the way things are coded in the script is unproductive and even barely logical, but i just follow what has been ask by the teacher.
