Final project was a sample currency conversion program with supporting documentation:

My program started as the base needs of the requirements. I had a basic display for the currency rates. The progression to the calculation portion led me many directions.

 

My first try was to use an Array and have the program call to the Array for the different calculations it needed. My lack of experience showed when I ran into problems that I could not solve at this time.

 

I went to basic if else statements to input the calculations and allow for an error message to be displayed when the wrong choice was picked. I also used a character select command to make the choice from a list of options.

 

My final program had me declare the variables for the currency rates and declare a variable for dollar amount input. Originally I had a toupper command when I used letters to identify the choices and forgot to change that to a simple if when I changed it to numbers
