Writing a Currency Conversion Program in Basic C
- Thread starter Carrie Robinson

Here is another version of the programme which you may find easier to deal with. No command line stuff needed, you just run it from the compiler like normal.
Remember to change the {curly brackets} up the top there to the triangle ones. Also remember you can change the country codes around a bit, and you can change the conversion numbers there to whatever you want.
Code:
#include {stdio.h}
#include {stdlib.h}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
float inputamount, result;
int countrycode;
printf("\n\n Enter an amount of money: ");
scanf("%f", &inputamount);
printf("\n\n Enter a number for a country, 1 to 5: ");
scanf("%d", &countrycode);
switch(countrycode)
{
case 1:
result = inputamount * 1.5;
break;
case 2:
result = inputamount * 0.3;
break;
case 3:
result = inputamount * 2.3;
break;
case 4:
result = inputamount * 0.4;
break;
case 5:
result = inputamount * 1.1;
break;
default:
result = inputamount * 1.0;
break;
}
printf("\n\n The result is: %f \n\n", result);
getchar();
return 0;

No I have not got the program to run because the compiler gives me the following error message when I compile it.
I also get this error when I try to compile the program:
c: line 16: function not declared
'(inputamount = atoi(argv[1])'
aborting compile

Thank you for all your help the program is running fine now

I need some more help with this problem
Expand the "Currency Conversion," program to accept one input currency of your choice, which is error checked as a valid entry, and then display its equivalency in US dollars. The conversions are now calculated equations. Insert comments in the program to document the program internally.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
float inputamount, result;
int countrycode;
printf("\n\n Enter an amount of money: ");
scanf("%f", &inputamount);
printf("\n\n Enter a number for a country, 1 to 5: ");
scanf("%d", &countrycode);
switch(countrycode)
{
case 1:
result = inputamount * 1.5;

result = inputamount * 0.3;

}Okay, here is your programme working fine. Just make sure you change the {curly braces} around the INCLUDE to the triangle brackets.

have you actually written ANY code yourself? You're not even giving us your ideas of how to do any of this. You've simply asked how to write the ENTIRE thing. Try a book or two...or just Google for it... we're all willing to help, but not do it for you.

This is the program I have written and I'm trying to figure out how to make the Else if statements work to check for errors.
I would appreciate any help.
