Question

Fill out the code for the function that converts degrees, arcminutes and arcseconds into a decimal degree. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

def convert_to_decimal(degrees,minutes,seconds):

#the problem with you code is

#the variables that are passed can be strings also

#so we need to cast them to floats

#otherwise everything is fine

decimaldeg = float(degrees)+float(minutes)/60+float(seconds)/3600

return decimaldeg

degrees=input("Enter degrees:")

minutes=input("Enter minutes:")

seconds=input("Enter seconds:")

print(convert_to_decimal(degrees,minutes,seconds))

print(convert_to_decimal(45,88,90))

output:

>>>

Enter degrees:45

Enter minutes:88

Enter seconds:90
