My script isn't working correctly, but I believe that the code is right

Question

I can't figure out why my script isn't working! Can someone please help!!! I'm doing this for my CS class. Here's the code:

feet1 = int(input('Enter the Feet: '))
inches1 = int(input('Enter the Inches: '))
feet2 = int(input('Enter the Feet: '))
inches2 = int(input('Enter the Inches: '))

feet_sum = (feet1 + feet2)
inches_sum = (inches1 + inches2)

def check(inches_sum, feet_sum):
    while True:
        if (inches_sum) > 12:
            inches_sum -= 12
            feet_sum += 1
            return feet_sum
            return inches_sum
            break

check(inches_sum, feet_sum)

print('Feet: {} Inches: {}'.format(feet_sum, inches_sum))

UPDATE: Would this work? I'm pretty sure that it should take the variables and check to see if the inches are over 12 in a loop, and when the inches aren't over 12 it'll break the loop. Does that make sense?

feet1 = int(input('Enter the Feet: '))
inches1 = int(input('Enter the Inches: '))
feet2 = int(input('Enter the Feet: '))
inches2 = int(input('Enter the Inches: '))

feet_sum = (feet1 + feet2)
inches_sum = (inches1 + inches2)

def check(inches, feet):
    while True:
        if (inches_sum) > 12:
            inches_sum -= 12
            feet_sum += 1
        else:
            break

check(inches_sum, feet_sum)

print('Feet: {} Inches: {}'.format(feet_sum, inches_sum))

Answer 1

I think this is what you want:

feet1 = int(input('Enter the Feet: '))
inches1 = int(input('Enter the Inches: '))
feet2 = int(input('Enter the Feet: '))
inches2 = int(input('Enter the Inches: '))

feet_sum = (feet1 + feet2)
inches_sum = (inches1 + inches2)

def check(inches_sum, feet_sum):
    while (inches_sum) >= 12:
        inches_sum -= 12
        feet_sum += 1
    return inches_sum, feet_sum

inches_sum, feet_sum = check(inches_sum, feet_sum)

print('Feet: {} Inches: {}'.format(feet_sum, inches_sum))

Result:

Enter the Feet: 1
Enter the Inches: 26
Enter the Feet: 1
Enter the Inches: 26
Feet: 6 Inches: 4
