Installation
bashpip install height-conversion-tool
Or clone this repository:
bashgit clone https://huggingface.co/NuBest/height-conversion-tool
cd height-conversion-tool
pip install -r requirements.txt
Quick Start
Python Usage
pythonfrom height_converter import HeightConverter

# Initialize converter
converter = HeightConverter()

# Convert from feet/inches to centimeters
height_cm = converter.feet_to_cm(5, 10) # 5 feet 10 inches
print(f"Height: {height_cm} cm") # Output: Height: 177.8 cm

# Convert from centimeters to feet/inches
feet, inches = converter.cm_to_feet(180)
print(f"Height: {feet}'{inches}\"") # Output: Height: 5'11"

# String input format
result = converter.convert("5'10\"", to_unit="cm")
print(result) # Output: 177.8 cm
Command Line Usage
bash# Convert height
python height_converter.py --input "5'10\"" --output cm

# Multiple conversions
python height_converter.py --input 180 --from cm --to feet
API Reference
HeightConverter Class
Methods
feet_to_cm(feet: int, inches: float = 0) -> float

Converts feet and inches to centimeters
Parameters:

feet: Number of feet
inches: Number of inches (optional, default: 0)


Returns: Height in centimeters

cm_to_feet(cm: float) -> tuple[int, float]

Converts centimeters to feet and inches
Parameters:

cm: Height in centimeters


Returns: Tuple of (feet, inches)

meters_to_feet(meters: float) -> tuple[int, float]

Converts meters to feet and inches
Parameters:

meters: Height in meters


Returns: Tuple of (feet, inches)

convert(input_str: str, to_unit: str = "cm") -> str

Flexible conversion from string input
Parameters:

input_str: Height string (e.g., "5'10"", "180cm", "1.8m")
to_unit: Target unit ("cm", "feet", "meters")


Returns: Converted height as string

Use Cases

Healthcare: Converting patient height measurements between metric and imperial systems
Fitness Apps: Standardizing height inputs across different regions
E-commerce: Converting size charts for international customers
Travel Apps: Helping users understand height requirements in different countries
Education: Teaching measurement conversions

Technical Details
Conversion Formulas

1 inch = 2.54 cm
1 foot = 12 inches = 30.48 cm
1 meter = 100 cm = 3.28084 feet

Accuracy
The tool maintains precision up to 2 decimal places for centimeters and meters, and up to 1 decimal place for inches.
Examples
Example 1: Basic Conversion
pythonfrom height_converter import HeightConverter

converter = HeightConverter()

# Convert 6 feet to centimeters
result = converter.feet_to_cm(6, 0)
print(f"6 feet = {result} cm") # Output: 6 feet = 182.88 cm
Example 2: Batch Conversion
pythonheights_cm = [150, 160, 170, 180, 190]

for height in heights_cm:
feet, inches = converter.cm_to_feet(height)
print(f"{height} cm = {feet}'{inches:.1f}\"")
Output:
150 cm = 4'11.1"
160 cm = 5'3.0"
170 cm = 5'7.0"
180 cm = 5'10.9"
190 cm = 6'2.8"
Example 3: Web Integration
pythonfrom flask import Flask, request, jsonify
from height_converter import HeightConverter

app = Flask(__name__)
converter = HeightConverter()



@app
.route('/convert', methods=['POST'])
def convert_height():
data = request.json
input_height = data.get('height')
to_unit = data.get('to_unit', 'cm')

result = converter.convert(input_height, to_unit)
return jsonify({'result': result})

if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug=True)
