 CURRENCY CONVERTER

OBJECTIVE

Currency converter aims to maintain real time information on current market or bank
exchange rates, so that the calculated result changes whenever the value of either of the
component currencies does and also it rectifies the error while converting large values from
distinct currencies.

Figure 1.1 Currency Converter

 INTRODUCTION

A currency converter is software code that is designed to convert one currency into another in
order to check its corresponding value. In order to convert one currency into another, a user
enters an amount of money (e.g. '1000') and chooses the currency he/she wishes to check the
monetary value of (e.g. 'United States Dollar'). After that, the user selects one, or sometimes
several other currencies, he/she would like to see the result in. The application software then
calculates and displays the corresponding amount of money.

 LITERATURE SURVEY

1. A paper naming “Method and system for delivering foreign exchange risk management”
was done by Lois Scheirer and it was published in Dec 2001.

2. A paper naming “System and method for generating and executing foreign exchange
losses” was published in Oct 2000. The authors were Jay S. Walker, James A. Jorasch

3. A paper naming “Algorithmic Trading in the Foreign Exchange Market”

was published in Sept 2014. The authors were Alain P.Chaboud, Benjamin Chiquoine,
Erik Hjalmarsson and Clara Vega.
4. The paper naming “Foreign Exchange Trading in Emerging Currencies : More Financial,
More Offshore” was published in March 2011. Authors were Robert N. McCauley,
Michela Scatigna.

5. Paper naming “Foreign exchange transaction system” was published in Nov 2009. Author
was Sholom S.Rosen.

3
 EXISTING SYSTEM
The existing system consists of exchange of currencies from one country to another.
However during transaction the large amount cannot be exchanged to the foreign currencies

there occurs an error during transaction .

PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED

This currency converter system shows errors while converting large values from distinct
currencies that vary a lot and are not usually converted into each other.

PROPOSED SYSTEM

This software system uses efficient algorithms to easily and instantly convert one
currency to other and it also rectifies the error that occurs while converting large values from
distinct currencies.

 MODULES DESCRIPTION

1. CHOOSING THE CURRENCY TYPE:

The webpage asks the user to choose the currency type from the given currency option.
The user can convert the currency from Euro to USD, USD to Euro and Pounds to USD.

2. ENTER THE CURRENCY VALUE

It asks for the user to enter the currency value that is to be changed from one currency to
another. If the entering current value is in negative, there it displays please enter the positive
values
3. MULTIPLIES THE VALUE:

Once the user enters the value, it performs the multiplication operation according to the
currency values that has to be changed further. Each converting currency values performs
different multiplication operation.

4. PRINTING THE VALUE:

After the process is over then it prints the converted currency values according to the user
required.

 CONCLUSION
Currency converter that the people are using, they will always find ways to get the highest
possible profits out of the exchanges. To those who are going to travel, it is a wise thing to check
the different foreign exchange options they have beforehand.
