Hello
My country Ghana is changing its currency. I want to write a small
programme in C++ that can covert from the old currency into the new
one. I would like this programme to run behind a simple calculator-
looking interface. I'm quite new to C++, and I would need some help.
Please any suggestion is welcome :)

The following is what I have been able to do so far:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(){
//variables declared

int old_currency_value, new_currency_value, result_of_formula;

//questions to ask user

cout<< "Please enter the value of the old currency you wish to
convert";
cin >> old_currency_value;

//conversion implementation
new_currency_value = old_currency_value/10000;

cout << "The value of the new currency is " << new_currency_value <<
endl;

//quit programme

return 0;


So what is your question?


Thanks for your quick response

1. How do I write a gui in C++ for this programme?


GUI is beyond the scope of this newsgroup, it is platform dependant. Ask in
a newsgroup dedicated to your OS/platform (alt.windows...etc.., alt.linux,
whatever).

2. Do you have any suggestions for enhancing this programme?


Write a GUI for it. Of course, you'll need to get information somewhere,
try in a newsgroup for your OS
