Volume calculator

i made a shape volume calculator tell me if i can improve it even more

# this is volume calculator according to calculator.net
import sys

You can get rid of the if-elif statement, by creating a function for each shape volume computation and then create a dictionary linking the shape number (or name honestly) to the callback such as: mapping = {1: volumne_sphere, 2: volume_cone...}. Then you can do mapping[shape]() only once and the requested volume computation will be automatically selected. If you change the input to be a string (user writes 'sphere' instead of 1, the dictionary will be more readable too).

If you can reuse some functions, that's even better.

Notice the lack of parantheses from the function names inside the dictionary, you only want the reference to that function, and the calling will be done on extraction from dict.

Also, you can use math.pi to get the pi constant and 1/3 instead of 0.333333 and 1.3333 can be written as 1 + 1/3. Makes the code cleaner.

If you're using python3, you can replace raw_input with input.

i am really new idk anything about functions or anything can you please help me with it i am sorry for bothering you

[madalinfasie]

A function is only a named block of code. You can "call" that block of code using the function name, so that code becomes reusable. You should definitely spend some time reading about it. I recommend sentdex on YouTube, or real python in written form. Good luck

thank you so much i would def look into it
