Description:
Consider the table with the monetary units of 11 countries and what each one is worth in U.S dollars
Currency Dollar value
USA 1.00000
British LB 1.41794
Euro dollar 0.87993
Aust. dollar 0.51896
German mark 0.44990
French Franc 0.13414
Ital. Lira 0.0004544
Jap Yen 0.008087
Russian rouble 0.03406
Korean won 0.0007782
Swiss franc 0.58482
Write a C++ program that allows the user to convert currency from any of the above units to any other. You can have them choose the currency by number(just number the above currencies from 0 to 10, and input an array index into your array of values from the above table.) Choose a "from" currency and a " to" currency and enter the amount to be converted; then print the converted amount to four decimal places and with a string showing the units it is in. Thus
Enter from currency: 2(Euro dollars)
Enter to currency : 0(us dollars)
Enter amount: 100.00 (Euro dollars)
(multiply by .87993 and we have)
converted amount = 87.9930 us dollars
(of course the math is a little different when converting from currency A to currency B where neither one is in US dollars, do the math)
Another part of the assignment is to sort the array of currency strings , allowing the values to "tag along". You can use the insertion sort . Using strcmp to compare the strings in the currency array, and if they are out of order you'll need to do the needed operations to "swap" the strings and also to swap the values in the numeric array. To illustrate: To swap doubles x and y you might say
tmp = x;
x = y;
y = temp; //where tmp is a double
But to swap strings (char' C type strings)x and y, it would be
strcpy(tmp, x);
strcpy (x,y);
strcpy (y,tmp);
just setting x = y where x and y are char 'pointers only makes both x and y point to the same string -- it doesn't copy the string data over. That is why strcpy is needed here. Using 2 functions , like void dswap(double& x, double& y) and void strswap(char 'x, char 'y )
the idea in sorting is to present the list of currencies to the user in alphabetical order. Do not just initialize the arrays to be in sorted order at the start . use the sort
So, you first should sort the arrays and then get into a loop;
while(!done)
display a menu: show the list of currencies, numbered
get input;
process and print;
go again? (set done appropriately)
Do not type in the above as is; it is not a c++ code(most of it isn't)
