My question is about input functions in python 3 specifically for a conversion function from dms to dd.



I'm new to python3 and having some trouble understanding how I would allow a user to input their DMS coordinate and have them limited by a 0-90 range, so if they put something like 100, or -1, the code would return a statement asking them to input a valid DMS format.



Below is my code - I think my if statement is where the trouble is happening. When I'm indicating if variable(x,x,x) - would that indicate the format the user would need to input their coordinate in?



def dms_convert_to_dd(degrees, minutes, seconds):
dd = degrees + float(minutes) / 60 + float(seconds) / 3600
return dd

dms = input('Please enter your DMS coordinate: ')
if dms_convert_to_dd(degrees, minutes, seconds) in range(0, 90):
print(dd)
else:
print("Please enter correct DMS coordinates")

  • 100 degrees is valid for longitude, as is 180, -1, and -180. Your conversion function will not generate correct results in the western or southern hemisphere, and your validity test only considers integer values.
