Learning Python - Homework 1

So I have actually decided to go back to school and get a degree in Computer Science and hopefully make myself more hire-able. One of my classes this semester is CS 1410, and I will be learning Python for this class.

I have actually taken coding classes in the past and I know my way around Java, JavaScript, and ActionScript. I have also done some stuff on my own on CodeCademy to learn those languages.

Today I turned in my first Python assignment, and I'm really excited for this class. The stuff I will post below isn't complicated at all, but at the end of the semester I will have a full game built on Python.

The assignment was basically to introduce us to Python and learn some basic syntax and make a few conversions with data that the user types on the console. If anyone has some critique, please let me know:

# Assignment001_ChristianMunoz.py

#Function 1 = This function converts Celsius to Fahrenheit

print("This program takes a temperature in Celsius as input and converts it to Fahrenheit")

celsius = eval(input("Please input celsius to be converted:  "))

fahrenheit = 9/5 *  celsius + 32

print("The temperature is ", fahrenheit, " degrees in Fahrenheit.")
print(' ')

#Function 2 = This function converts Fahrenheit to Celsius

print("This program takes a temperature in Fahrenheit as input and converts it to Celsius")

fahrenheit = eval(input("Please input Fahrenheit to be converted:  "))

celsius = (fahrenheit - 32) * 5/9

print("The temperature is ", celsius, " degrees in Celsius.")
print(' ')

#Function 3 = This function converts Radians

print("This program takes an angle in Radians and converts it Degrees")

radians = eval(input("Please input Radians to be converted: "))

degrees = radians * (180 / math.pi)

print("The answer is ", degrees, " in Degrees")
print(' ')

#Function 4 = This function converts Degrees

print("This program takes an angle in Degrees and converts it to Radians")

degrees = eval(input("Plese input degrees to be converted: "))

radians = degrees * (math.pi / 180)

print("The answer is ", radians, " in Radians")
print(' ')

#Function 5 = This function finds two coterminal angles (one + and one -)

print("This program takes an angle in Degrees and finds two coterminal angles (one positive and one negative)")

userInput = eval(input("Please input the angle in Degrees to find coterminal angles: "))

positiveAngle = userInput + 360
negativeAngle = userInput - 360

print("The answers are: ", positiveAngle, " and ", negativeAngle, " in Degrees")
print(' ')

#Function 6 = This function finds a complement and supplement angle

print("This program takes an angle in Degrees and finds the Complement and Supplement angles")

userInput = eval(input("Please input the angle in Degrees to find the complement and supplement angles: "))

if userInput >= 180 or userInput < 0:
    complement = 'IMPOSSIBLE'
    supplement = 'IMPOSSIBLE'

    print("The Complementary angle is ", complement, " and the Supplementary angle is ", supplement, ".")
    print(' ')

elif userInput >= 90:
    complement = 'IMPOSSIBLE'
    supplement = 180 - userInput

    print("The Complementary angle is ", complement, " and the Supplementary angle is ", supplement, " in Degrees.")
    print(' ')

else:
    complement = 90  - userInput
    supplement = 180 - userInput

    print("The Complementary angle is ", complement, " and the Supplementary angle is ", supplement, " in Degrees.")
    print(' ')

That's all for now, thanks for reading!
