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 unit

run 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.

Jump. From nearest. Building.

Anyone with some common sense?

Why should we help you when you act like a dick to anyone that answers?

[Poppins]

Uh he was clearly being stupid.. ? -_-

No he wasn't. That's the correct answer actually.

[Poppins]

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.

This ^. Avoid being pissy when asking for help, and you can avoid -9 rep.

Okay so i have an assignment and I need to convert numbers into SI units.

For example

1212131A into 1.21MA

o

0.334A into 3.34mA

thanks

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...
