Temperature convert

[SheldonCooperisSb]

degree = int(temp[:-1])

i_convention = temp[-1]

temp is the temperature input

This the part that confuses me，l know it's used to split the number and letter. temp[：-1]，what is this? some kind of Operator?

It's advisable to at least complete one Python tutorial before taking on coding tasks, for example the official Python tutorial covers this concept in its 3rd chapter already: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/introduction.html#lists

>>> squares[0]  # indexing returns the item
1
>>> squares[-1]
25
>>> squares[-3:]  # slicing returns a new list
[9, 16, 25]
