Specifically, how can I dynamically adjust the values of tablespoons and ounces based on whether I am including larger measurements like cups or pints in the conversion process?
For example:
total_teaspoons = 57
pints = (total_teaspoons // 96)
cups = (total_teaspoons // 48)
ounces = (total_teaspoons) // 6
tbsps = total_teaspoons // 3
tsps = total_teaspoons % total_teaspoons
print(tbsps, tsps)
print(ounces, tbsps, tsps)
print(cups, ounces, tbsps, tsps)
print(pints, cups, ounces, tbsps, tsps)
Solution :
To achieve the desired output, you can use floor division (//) and modulus (%) operators to extract the appropriate units and their remainder at each step of the conversion. Here's a modified version of your code:
total_teaspoons = 57
# Calculate pints
pints = total_teaspoons // 192
remaining_teaspoons = total_teaspoons % 192
# Calculate cups
cups = remaining_teaspoons // 48
remaining_teaspoons %= 48
# Calculate ounces
ounces = remaining_teaspoons // 6
remaining_teaspoons %= 6
# Calculate tablespoons
tbsps = remaining_teaspoons // 3
remaining_teaspoons %= 3
# The remaining_teaspoons variable now holds the remaining teaspoons
# Print the results
print(f"{tbsps} tablespoons, {remaining_teaspoons} teaspoons")
print(f"{ounces} ounces, {tbsps} tablespoons, {remaining_teaspoons} teaspoons")
print(f"{cups} cups, {ounces} ounces, {tbsps} tablespoons, {remaining_teaspoons} teaspoons")
print(f"{pints} pints, {cups} cups, {ounces} ounces, {tbsps} tablespoons, {remaining_teaspoons} teaspoons")
This code calculates the number of pints, cups, ounces, and tablespoons based on the total number of teaspoons. It updates the remaining_teaspoons variable at each step, allowing you to accumulate the units correctly. The final print statements display the results as desired.
