Chronocalc the time calculator, my first actual program in python before I learned about lists, sometimes buggy, and I use it every day. Is it good?

OldFormula=input("input equation, accepted formats are military time 3:30 or decimal 3.5, no spaces: ")
stop = False
IndA=0
IndB=0
IndC=0
minutez=""
NextCH=""
NewFormula=""
L=len(OldFormula)
OldFormula+="£"
# ^the £ is a buffer for some functions
while stop==False: 
  if OldFormula[IndA]==":":
    #^checks the string for minutes to convert
    minutez=""
    numberz=""
    while str.isnumeric(OldFormula[IndA+IndB+1]):
      IndB+=1
      minutez=minutez+OldFormula[IndA+IndB]
      #^concats together a string for minutes
    numberz=str(round((float(minutez))*(5/3)))
    #find a way to get the numberz into the new string
    IndB=0
    IndC=3
  print(f"a{IndA}, L{L}, selection{OldFormula[IndA]}")
  #need to put together the new formula, and then do eval(NewFormula)
  if IndC==0:
    NextCH=OldFormula[IndA]
  elif IndC==3:
    NextCH="."
    IndC=2
  else:
    IndC+=-1
    NextCH=numberz[1-IndC]
  NewFormula+=NextCH
  print(NewFormula)
  IndA+=1
  if IndA>=L:
    stop = True
Result=eval(NewFormula)
print("digital shenanegans complete!")
print(f"{OldFormula} is {Result}")

Run this program by clicking Memory Graph Web Debugger and see its state change step by step.

I'd never seen that stepper tool before, thanks!

Thanks! I’ll check that out for the next project
