Question

A "jiffy" is the scientific name for 1/100th of a second. Define a function named jiffies_to_seconds that takes the number of "jiffies" as a parameter, and returns the number of seconds. Then, write a main program that reads the number of jiffies (float) as an input, calls function jiffies_to_seconds() with the input as argument, and outputs the number of seconds.

Output each floating-point value with three digits after the decimal point, which can be achieved as follows:
print(f'{your_value:.3f}')

Ex: If the input is:

15.25

the output is:

0.152

The program must define and call the following function:
def jiffies_to_seconds(user_jiffies)

MY CODE:

def jiffies_to_seconds(user_seconds):
    jiffies = user_seconds*100
    return jiffies

#main of program
if __name__ == '__main__':

    user_seconds = float(input())
    jiffies =  jiffies_to_seconds (user_seconds)
    print(f'{user_seconds:.3f}')

ERROR:

Not understanding the correct function here.  The output is putting the decimal in the wrong place.

Input
15.25
Your output
15.250
Expected output
0.152
