Calculating Your Remaining Life with Python — A Practical Project

Have you ever wondered how much time you have left to live? While none of us can predict what is to come, we may apply simple math to determine how much time we have left. In this blog post, we’ll go over how to make a Python Remaining Life Calculator.

Step-by-Step Explanation of Code

The Remaining Life Calculator is a simple program and estimates how much time they have left to live, assuming a 90-year lifespan. The program then outputs the result in terms of hours, days, weeks, and months.

The code starts by welcoming the user to the Remaining Life Calculator

print("Welcome To My Remaining Life Calculator")

Next, the user is prompted to enter their current age:

age = input("What is your current age? ")

The user’s input is stored as a string. To perform calculations, we need to convert it to an integer using the int()function:

remaining_age = 90 - int(age)

This line calculates the user’s remaining years based on a fixed lifespan of “90 years”. The result is stored in the variable remaining_age.

The remaining time is then calculated in terms of days, weeks, months, and hours:

days = remaining_age * 365
weeks = remaining_age * 52
months = remaining_age * 12
hours = days * 24

These calculations use basic mathematical operations to convert the remaining years to the desired time units. For example, we multiply the remaining years by 365 to get the number of days, by 52 to get the number of weeks, and by 12 to get the number of months. We then multiply the number of days by 24 to get the number of hours.

Finally, the program outputs the results using f-strings:

print(f"You have {hours} hours, {days} days, {weeks} weeks, and {months} months left if you live 90 years.")

The output is a user-friendly and clear statement of the user’s remaining time, broken down into hours, days, weeks, and months.

Here is the full code.
