CURRENCY CONVERTER
1.0 Introduction
Python is a high-level, interpreted, and general-purpose programming language known for its simplicity and
readability. Created by Guido van Rossum in 1991, Python emphasizes code readability with its clean syntax
and significant indentation. It is widely used across various domains, including web development, data
science, artificial intelligence, automation, and more.

2.0 Key Features of Python

 Simple and Readable Syntax: Easy to learn, especially for beginners.
 Interpreted Language: Executes code line-by-line, making debugging easier.
 Dynamically Typed: No need to declare variable types.
 Extensive Standard Library: Comes with a rich set of built-in modules and functions.
 Object-Oriented & Functional: Supports both programming paradigms.
 Portable: Runs on multiple platforms without modification.
 Open Source: Freely available and maintained by a large community.
 Integration Capabilities: Can be integrated with C, C++, Java, and more.

3.0 Python Editions & Environments

 CPython: The default and most widely used implementation in C.
 PyPy: Fast, JIT-compiled version of Python.
 Jython: Python integrated with Java.
 IronPython: Python running on the .NET framework.
 MicroPython: A lean version of Python for microcontrollers.

4.0 Popular Python Environments:

 Anaconda: Ideal for data science and machine learning.
 Virtualenv & venv: Used to create isolated Python environments.
 Jupyter Notebook: Interactive environment for data analysis and visualization.

5.0 Python Applications

 Web Development: Using frameworks like Django, Flask, and FastAPI.
  Data Science & Analysis: Pandas, NumPy, SciPy.
 Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning: TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn.
 Automation/Scripting: Automate tasks and workflows using simple scripts.
 Game Development: Libraries like Pygame.
 Cybersecurity: Tools for penetration testing and automation.
 Internet of Things (IoT): With MicroPython and Raspberry Pi.

6.0 Python Syntax Example

# A simple Python program
def greet(name):
print(f"Hello, {name}!")

greet("Alice")

7.0 Popular IDEs and Tools for Python

 PyCharm (JetBrains)
 Visual Studio Code
 Jupyter Notebook
 Spyder
 Thonny
 Sublime Text
 IDLE (comes with Python)

 CODE
 USD_TO_EUR = 0.85
USD_TO_GBP = 0.75
USD_TO_JPY = 110.0

def convert_currency(amount, target_currency):

"""Convert USD to the specified target currency."""
if target_currency == '1':
converted_amount = amount * USD_TO_EUR
print(f"Converted amount in EUR: €{converted_amount:.2f}")
elif target_currency == '2':
converted_amount = amount * USD_TO_GBP
print(f"Converted amount in GBP: £{converted_amount:.2f}")
elif target_currency == '3':
converted_amount = amount * USD_TO_JPY
print(f"Converted amount in JPY: ¥{converted_amount:.2f}")
else:
print("Invalid currency selection. Please choose 1, 2, or 3.")

amount_in_usd = float(input("Enter the amount in USD: "))

print("Select target currency (1 for EUR, 2 for GBP, 3 for JPY): ")
target_currency = input("Enter the number corresponding to the target currency: ")

convert_currency(amount_in_usd, target_currency)

 OUTPUT

8.1 Advantages of Python

 Easy to learn and use
 Vast community and library support
  Highly readable and maintainable code
 Cross-platform compatibility
 Great for rapid prototyping
 Versatile (used in almost every domain)

8.2 Disadvantages of Python

 Slower execution speed compared to compiled languages
 Not ideal for mobile app development
 High memory consumption
 Limited in multi-threading due to the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL)

9.0 Future of Python

Python continues to evolve and remains one of the most popular programming languages. With the rise of
AI, machine learning, data science, and automation, Python is set to play a vital role in future technological
advancements. Its simplicity and adaptability make it suitable for both beginners and professionals, ensuring
long-term relevance.

10.0 Conclusion
The currency converter successfully performs real-time conversion between different currencies using
reliable exchange rate data, meeting the core objective of the project. The codebase is modular and can be
easily extended to support additional features like currency history, charts, or offline mode with caching.
This project reinforces key Python concepts such as API integration, error handling, user input validation,
and GUI/CLI development. The tool is practical for travel , businesses, and developers needing quick and
reliable currency conversion. Features such as multi-currency conversion, historical exchange data, and
language localization can be added for broader appeal.
