need help, newbie in town. - fburgos - Mar-18-2018
Ok I need help. I can't find the issue with this code
>>> def main():
celsius=eval(input("What's the Celsius temperature" ))
fahrenheit=9/5*celsius+32
print("The fahrenheit temperature is "fahrenheit)
This is a simple converter, I'm just practicing around by reading a guide that I have. But for some reason I get a syntax error message when I 'print' Fahrenheit(the last line). Can someone explain me why? what am I doing wrong?

>>> indicates that you are using a command line interpreter.
You must type (or paste)
lines one at a time (with eol) in this mode, keeping proper indentation:
In addition, you do not need nor want the eval statement you wan integer conversion instead
ending up with:
>>> def main():
... celsius = int(input("What's the Celsius temperature "))
... fahrenheit = (9 / 5) * celsius + 32
... print("The fahrenheit temperature is {}".format(fahrenheit))
...
>>> main()
What's the Celsius temperature 25
The fahrenheit temperature is 77.0
