Hi All
Could you please help me with the following,
[code]
#Convert C to F
def Tc_to_Tf ():
Tc = input ("What is the Celsius Temperature ? " )
Tf = 9.0/5.0 * Tc + 32
print 'The temperature is ', Tf, ' Degrees Fahrenheit'
[code]
I get NameError: name 'Tf' is not defined
I dont understand as Tf is defined as a formulae?
Thanks in anticipation
Graham
Ps, dont think I have these tags right, some help here too please

Like gerard4143 says, you have to make the print statement part of the function, since Tf is local to the function. The other option would be to return Tf to make it available outside the function:
Please use the [code=python] and [/code] tag pair to enclose your python code.

Alternatively you can use placeholder (same Snee's example)

Hi Guys
Thanks very much for your post.
I understand now that I have to make Tf part of the function and how to do so.
I dont understand your Tf=Tc_toTf () command, could you please explain how it works.
Many thanks
Graham
