How can i make the button print the result of the function

Question:

so i have coded this unit conversion program, and i think ive done pretty well until i came to the last part. i cant seem to figure out how to get the button to convert my units and actually print them.
Here is my code:

The button works fine but mylabel doesnt seem to get the values correctly and i dont know how to make it get the values correctly, who can show me how i can get it to print the values based on the if and else statements.

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk

root = Tk()
root.title("Unit Converter")
root.geometry("800x500")




var1 = Entry(width = 30)
var1.pack()
var1.place(x=300, y = 21)
var1 = IntVar()

lbl = Label(root, text = "Write Number Here: ")
lbl.pack()
lbl.place(x=180, y=20)

    if drop1.get() == "Kilogram":
        drop2.config(value = kg_conversion)
    if drop1.get() == "Pounds":
        drop2.config(value = pound_conversions)
    if drop1.get() == "Ounces":
        drop2.config(value = ounces_conversions)

mybutton = Button(root, text = "Convert", command = converting)
mybutton.pack()
mybutton.place(x= 200, y = 100)






root.mainloop()

i was expecting that this button will give me the results

Answers:

You have several problems.

I have changed only the change from Kilogram to Pounds because the rest is exactly the same.

var1 = Entry(width = 30)
var1.pack()
var1.place(x=300, y = 21)
#var1 = IntVar()

Here as you can see I have commented out the IntVar() line as this is not necessary, the entry.get() is how you get the value of the entry.

def kg_to_pounds():
    kg_pound = float(float(var1.get()) * 2.2)
    return str(kg_pound)

The function must return some result if you want to use it later and as you also use it in a label it must be in string format.

def converting():
    if drop1.get() == "Kilogram" and drop2.get() == "Pounds":
        value = kg_to_pounds()
.
.
.

mylabel = Label(root, text = f'{value}')
mylabel.pack()
mylabel.place(x = 300, y = 100) 

Finally, I have stored the value in a variable called value and it is the one we pass to the result label.
