function help

[Nickd12]

i do apologize i was messing around with finding different ways to do different things just exploring and learning. i was messing around having fun with time conversion.

this is what i came up with im sure there is a better way but i was asking if its possible to avoid all the if statements

def conversion(number, time, hms):
    if time == "minute":

        if hms == "second":
            minute_ = number * 60
        elif hms == "minute":
            minute_ = number * 1
        else:
            return
        return minute_

    elif time == "hour":

        if hms == "second":
            hr = number * 3600  # 3600 seconds in an hour
        elif hms == "minute":
            hr = number * 60
        elif hms == "hour":
            hr = number * 1
        else:
            return
        return hr
    else:
        return

# print(hour(1, h="second"))


number = 1  # one hour
time = "hour"  # time in
hms = "second"  # seconds in a hour
conver = conversion(number, time, hms)

print(f"there are {conver} {hms}(s) in a {time}(s)")
