from_unit = 'L'
to_unit = 'gal'

Model

Unit available

def convert_volume(value, from_unit, to_unit):
    units = {
        'mL': 0.001,
        'L': 1.0,
        'gal': 3.78541,
        'qt': 0.946353,
        'pt': 0.473176,
        'fl oz': 0.0295735,
        'm3': 1000.0
        # Add other volume units here
    }

    if from_unit not in units or to_unit not in units:
        raise ValueError("Invalid unit.")

    return value * units[from_unit] / units[to_unit]
