How to convert numbers into SI unit numbers? - Echoe - May 9, 2013
Okay so i have an assignment and I need to convert numbers into SI units.
For example
1212131A into 1.21MA
or
0.334A into 3.34mA
thanks

Just simple calculate it: 1212131A / 100 = 1.21MA
0.334A * 10 = 3.34mA
Or what exacly do you mean?

Jump. From nearest. Building.
Anyone with some common sense?

Using string or list operations detect the last two characters which will be unit of the quantity.
Like this
Code
import string
figure = raw_input('enter a figure with its unit: ')
unit = ''
for letter in figure:
if letter in string.ascii_letters:
unit += letter
print unitrun this code, it will detect unit from the entered figure
This is the output
Code
>>>
enter a figure with its unit: 1.5mV
mV
>>>It does not detect abbreviations for 'micro'(μ),'ohm'(Ω) etc.. you can add them and form a character map
After extracting the unit from the entered figure write a program to convert it to a target unit based on SI standards.

No he wasn't. That's the correct answer actually.
* - Echoe - May 14, 2013
Hum no it's not. If he wasn't then he must of misunderstood what I was asking, and how can you tell me it's the correct answer to my question when it's me who is asking it?
I'm sorry but don't bother commenting again and don't be an ass and neg rep like a lil bitch. It was a misunderstanding

You asked how to convert the specified units to the values provided. If you plug your values into his script, you get the answer you were looking for.

By the way A(ampere) is an SI unit , you said that you need to convert numbers to SI.
In the example you did just the opposite.
Are you asking for a converter...
