A unit conversion expresses the same property as a different unit of measurement. Distance can be converted from miles to kilometers, or feet, or any other measure of length.
The function first defines a dictionary called converstion_function, which contains conversion factors for various units. The keys of the dictionary represent the units, and the corresponding values represent the conversion factor to convert from that unit to meters.
The function then checks if both the from_unit and to_unit are present in the conversion_factors dictionary. If either of them is not found, it raises a ValueError
with the message "Invalid unit."
If both units are valid, the function calculates the conversion by dividing the value
by the conversion factor of from_unit to meters and then multiplying it by the conversion factor of to_unit from meters. This calculation ensures that the conversion is accurate.
The program also includes a main block that allows the user to interactively input the units and value to convert. It prompts the user to enter the units, value, and the units to convert to. It then calls the unit_converstion function with the provided values and prints the result as "The converted value is: [converted_value]."
