Problem

Because you are an outstanding student, a local civic organization has awarded you a generous sum of money to pursue your education in England. You also plan to do some sightseeing while you are in Europe. The award money is in U.S. dollars, and you want to know how that will convert to the British pound, the euro, and the Russian ruble. Use the concepts and techniques presented in this chapter to create an application that will accept the U.S. dollar amount, convert the U.S. dollar amount, and display the British pound, euro, and Russian ruble equivalents. Use the Web, a newspaper, or a local financial institution to obtain the conversion rates.
