1.0 Aim of micro project:-

Develop Currency Converter Using Python

2.0 Brief introduction:

A currency converter is a tool or application and process of exchanging one

country’s currency for another at a specific exchange rate. This conversion is
based on the current exchange rates between the two currencies. Currency
converters are widely used for various purposes, including international trade,
travel, and financial transactions.

3.0 course outcome:

 Display message on screen using Python script on IDE.

 Develop python program to demonstrate use of Operators

4.0 Literature review:

 What is python?

Python is a high-level, interpreted, interactive and object-oriented programming

language. Today python is the trendiest programming language. There are several
reason for why python programming language is a preferable choice of the
programmers/developers over other popular programming languages like c++, java,
and so on. It was created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991.

 What is nested if-else statement in python?

A nested if-else statement in Python refers to the situation where one if-else
statement is placed inside another. This is useful when you need to evaluate
multiple conditions in a more complex manner.

 5.0 Proposed methodology:
Algorithm:

Step 1: User Input

The program begins by prompting the user to input the amount to be converted
(amount), the source currency code (Currency1), and the currency code
(currency2).

Step 2: Currency Conversion

The program uses a series of if-elif statements to check the combination of

currency1 and currency2 currencies and calculates the converted amount based on
the specified exchange rates.

Step 3: Output
The program prints the result of the currency conversion based on the selected if-
elif branch. If none of the specified conditions match, it prints an error message
indicating that the user should enter valid information.

Step 4: Handling Invalid Input

The else statement serves as a catch-all for cases where none of the specified
currency conversion conditions are met. It prints an error message suggesting that
the user should enter valid information.

Step 5: Program End

The program execution ends after printing the result or error message. These steps
outline the process from the start to the end of the program, covering user input,
currency conversion, output, and handling invalid input

7.0 Skill Developed:

1. Input Handling: Managing user input, ensuring the program can handle different
data types and potential errors.
2. Mathematical Operations: Performing currency conversion calculations based on
predefined exchange rates.
3. String Manipulation: Handling and comparing strings (currency codes) input by
the user.
4. Error Handling: Implementing a mechanism to handle cases where invalid inputs
are provided.
5. Debugging: Identifying and resolving any issues or errors in the code.
6. Testing: Verifying that the program functions correctly under various scenarios
and input combinations.
8.0.Program:-
amount = int(input("Enter The Amount To Convert = "))
currency1 = input("Select the currency from which to convert = ").lower()
currency2 = input("Select the currency to convert to = ").lower()
if currency1 == "usd" and currency2 == "eur":
converted = amount * 0.92
print(amount, "USD is equal to", converted, "EUR")
elif currency1 == "eur" and currency2 == "usd":
converted = amount * 1.08
print(amount, "EUR is equal to", converted, "USD")
elif currency1 == "inr" and currency2 == "usd":
converted = amount * 0.012
print(amount, "INR is equal to", converted, "USD")
elif currency1 == "inr" and currency2 == "eur":
converted = amount * 0.011
print(amount, "INR is equal to", converted, "EUR")
elif currency1 == "usd" and currency2 == "inr":
converted = amount * 83.00
print(amount, "USD is equal to", converted, "INR")
elif currency1 == "eur" and currency2 == "inr":
converted = amount * 89.69
print(amount, "EUR is equal to", converted, "INR")
else:
print("Enter valid information")

12.0 Conclusion:-
This program efficiently facilitates currency conversion based on user input. It prompts
the user to input the amount to convert, the source currency code, and the target
currency code. With the rise of digital platforms and real-time exchange rate APIs,
currency conversion has become more accessible and efficient. However, fluctuations
in exchange rates can impact financial decisions, making it important to stay updated
with current rates. Overall, currency conversion is essential for economic growth,
global connectivity, and seamless financial transactions.
