Weight Converter GUI Program

Weight Converter

Project Overview

The Weight Converter GUI Program is a Python application designed to assist users in converting weights between different units. The program features a graphical user interface (GUI) built using the Tkinter library, providing a user-friendly experience for weight conversions. Users can input a weight, select the desired units for conversion, and specify the decimal places for the result.

  • Result Display:

    • The converted weight is displayed with the selected units and specified decimal places.

  • Error Handling:

    • The application handles errors gracefully, providing informative messages for invalid inputs or unexpected issues.

  • Keyboard Shortcuts:
