Day 5 of learning python as a beginner. Topic: Functions On my previous day post many people shared their github where I was introduced to def functions and since then I started learning more about def functions. Thank you all those people who are supporting and guided me. def functions are user defined functions which you can reuse in your code again and again without repeating the logic. Python has two types of functions pre-defined (ex- sum(), max(), etc) and user-defined (which user creates himself think of it like reusable components). I have created a unit converter using def function. First I have created reusable code logic for conversion formulas. I have used replace in place of print because it shows result on screen (console output) and will return "none" when called in the def function however on the other hand return sends the result back to the caller (which can be used later). Then I have let user enter a number (without unit) and then the unit seperately (if user put unit in the first input then it will be treated as a string and formulas will not work, thus giving an error). Then I used a list directly in if else statement (I didn't know that list can also be used directly in if else) and I created 4 such lists of different units so that any one condition can become true in if elif and else table. I hope I am able to explan this code without making it complex. I would appreciate any challenge or suggestion to improve my code. And here's my code and it's result.

Why are we still coding in programming languages when plain but exact English statements should be used to define what functions and methods should do. Just a vision: 1. Let everyone (not only developers) write modular functions with plain English d
