rhino 0 #1 April 21, 2003 o.k. My compiler won't work or something. I'll buy anyone 2 jumptickets and a case o corona that can write this program with a quickness.. Write a C program that displays a title, "Currency Conversion," and then write the names of five currencies and their equivalents to the US dollar. The conversions are hard coded equations. Insert comments in the program to document the program internally. Attach a design flow chart and a version control sheet to a hard copy of the source code of the program. Expand the “Currency Conversion” program to accept one input currency, which is error checked as a valid entry, and then display its equivalency in US dollars. Insert comments in the program to document the program internally. Attach a design flow chart and a version control sheet to a hard copy of the source code of the program. Expand the “Currency Conversion” program to have a menu that allows the user to choose which currency they wish to display in its equivalency to the US dollars. Insert comments in the program to document the program internally. Attach a design flow chart and a version control sheet to a hard copy of the source code of the program.

scottbre 0 #3 April 21, 2003 Writing this program and "winning your contest" and getting the two jump tickets and beer from you is all well and good. However that still leaves you with no rights to use, modify or claim the program as your own. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!"

CrazyIvan 0 #4 April 21, 2003 Does it has to be written in C?, any prize for 'flow chart only'? __________________________________________ Blue Skies and May the Force be with you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meridianjumper 0 #9 April 21, 2003 Ah, I would be asking too. Have you tried doing a google search of some C programs? I had to do something like this to get some help on a program I had to make for my class. Blue Skies, Jeremy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 15 #17 April 21, 2003 I can do it, but if its a school project I won't touch it. I learned the hard way abuot trying to get strangers code and pass it off as my own. Plus you never know if I'd throw in variables that you could'nt explain why I parsed them they way I did.

PhreeZone 15 #19 April 21, 2003 Hard coded equasions are'nt useful for anything other then proof of concept programs. For all my assignments I always was taked with writing an administrative interface to alter the formulas so that the same code was very flexible. With something like an exchange rate its pointless to use a fixed rate for any business reason. And if it was for the business... I would'nt pick C as the language to write it in. I like Java or C++.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RevJim 0 #20 April 21, 2003 We agree on the Java. Too bad so many people don't understand the usefullness of it, and label it as a "virus carrier".It's your life, live it!

sfc 0 #21 April 21, 2003 Can you answer the following? Which O/S is this for. Do you want this to be a command line program or a GUI (windows) program. Do you want to review the design before the code is written. Simon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
indyz 1 #22 April 21, 2003 QuoteDamn.. I figured someone on here could do this? I can do it, but this feels like an assignment to me. If I do your homework for you, then I'll be hurting myself when we end up competing for the same job down the road. That said... If it isn't a school project and you can prove it, I'll be happy to provide you with my rate card (sorry, cash only, no jump tickets or beer). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,170 #24 April 21, 2003 If you don't get any help, here's a link to a forum where a similar program is explained, with some suggestions about what to do. conversion question I'm no C programmer (I'm at the -see--do stage of C and C++ programming), but this looks like it has some reasonable stuff. Wendy W. (edited to say that moving sucks) There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

bch7773 0 #25 April 21, 2003 I would help you if I could but I only know a little visual basic, and a whole lotta useless FORTRAN (damn engineering major) Whenever I needed a program, I would just pay off someone in my class to edit-copy, edit-paste, change a few words, and voila!
