human years to dog years - jhall710 - May-07-2017
This makes no sense why python will not do a simple multiplication instead of duplicating 7 times. Need to be able to input a number in human years and then have the code print both human years and dog years. code posted below.
human_years = input('How old are you? ')
dog_years = human_years * 7
# use the variable name dog_years so that the print statements below will print out the correct values.
print("You are", human_years, "in human years")
print("You are", dog_years, "in dog years")

The input function returns a string (if you are using 3.0 or later). Multiplying strings repeats them. If you want integer multiplication, you need to convert the string with int().

Who determined a dog year is 7 times a human year.
Don't they go through the same number of winters and summers?
Perhaps their concept of a year is the same as ours, but they just age faster

It depends on who you talk to.

Now calculate what that would be in sea turtle years.

What do you mean? African or European sea turtle?
