# Weight Conversion Program
A beginner-friendly Python console program that converts weight between **kilograms (kg)** and **pounds (lbs)**.
---
## What it does
- Asks for a weight value and the unit (`k` for kg, `p` for lbs)
- Converts to the other unit using `1 kg = 2.205 lbs`
- Prints the result rounded to 2 decimals
- Handles an invalid unit choice gracefully
---
## Run it
Requires **Python 3** (no external packages).
```bash
python3 weight_conversion_program.py
```
---
## Example
```
Enter your weight: 70
Kilograms or Pounds (k/p): k
Your weight is: 154.35 Lbs.
```
---
## What I practiced
- Reading and converting user input (`float`, `input`)
- Conditional logic (`if` / `elif` / `else`)
- Basic arithmetic and `round()`
- Structuring a small Python script
