Introduction

A currency converter is a tool that allows users to convert one currency to another based on current

exchange rates. It is widely used in businesses, travel, and international trade. This project

demonstrates a basic currency converter using programming concepts from Informatics Practices.
Technical Details

The currency converter project involves the following technical aspects:

1. **Programming Language**: Python

2. **Libraries Used**: forex-python for exchange rates, tkinter for GUI

3. **Algorithm**:

- Take input for the amount and the source currency.

- Allow the user to select the target currency.

- Fetch the exchange rate using the forex-python library.

- Perform the conversion and display the result.

4. **Features**:

- Real-time exchange rates

- User-friendly interface

- Supports multiple currencies


Source Code

from forex_python.converter import CurrencyRates

from tkinter import *

def convert_currency():

c = CurrencyRates()

amount = float(amount_entry.get())

from_currency = from_entry.get()

to_currency = to_entry.get()

result = c.convert(from_currency, to_currency, amount)

result_label.config(text=f'Result: {result:.2f} {to_currency}')

# GUI Setup

root = Tk()

root.title('Currency Converter')

Label(root, text='Amount').grid(row=0, column=0)

amount_entry = Entry(root)

amount_entry.grid(row=0, column=1)

Label(root, text='From Currency').grid(row=1, column=0)

from_entry = Entry(root)

from_entry.grid(row=1, column=1)

Label(root, text='To Currency').grid(row=2, column=0)

to_entry = Entry(root)
to_entry.grid(row=2, column=1)

Button(root, text='Convert', command=convert_currency).grid(row=3, column=1)

result_label = Label(root, text='Result: ')

result_label.grid(row=4, column=1)

root.mainloop()
Conclusion

This project highlights the application of Python programming in developing a functional and

user-friendly currency converter. It demonstrates the use of external libraries, GUI development, and

real-time data integration. Such projects are valuable for understanding practical applications of

coding skills.
