Measurement

[deanhystad]

This is a string:

"drams =(1/8 *32 *8"

This evaluates an expression and assigns the result to a variable

drams = 1/8*32*8

I don't like the assignment because it does not specify what unit is used for user input. The teacher must have provided additional information because you have chosen to have the user enter their order using ounces. The instructions provide the conversions from ounces to drams and ounces to gils. Read the instructions carefully and you will see that your equation is wrong. Nowhere should you be using 32.
