so i have coded this unit conversion program, and i think ive done pretty well until i came to the last part. i cant seem to figure out how to get the button to convert my units and actually print them.
Here is my code:
The button works fine but mylabel doesnt seem to get the values correctly and i dont know how to make it get the values correctly, who can show me how i can get it to print the values based on the if and else statements.

i was expecting that this button will give me the results
>Solution :
You have several problems.
I have changed only the change from Kilogram to Pounds because the rest is exactly the same.
var1 = Entry(width = 30)
var1.pack()
var1.place(x=300, y = 21)
#var1 = IntVar()
Here as you can see I have commented out the IntVar() line as this is not necessary, the entry.get() is how you get the value of the entry.
def kg_to_pounds():
kg_pound = float(float(var1.get()) * 2.2)
return str(kg_pound)
The function must return some result if you want to use it later and as you also use it in a label it must be in string format.
def converting():
if drop1.get() == "Kilogram" and drop2.get() == "Pounds":
value = kg_to_pounds()
.
.
.
mylabel = Label(root, text = f'{value}')
mylabel.pack()
mylabel.place(x = 300, y = 100)
Finally, I have stored the value in a variable called value and it is the one we pass to the result label.
