Currency Exchange
February 27, 2015
There is much data available on the internet, and it is often convenient to query that data in a specific way, repeatedly. In that case, the best thing to do is to write a program to automate the request. Today’s exercise is specifically about currency exchange, but anything is fair game, from weather reports to baseball standings.
Your task is to write a program that takes a “from” currency, a “to” currency, and an amount specified in the “from” currency, and returns the equivalent amount in the “to” currency. When you are finished, you are welcome to read a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.
