A simple currency conversion utility.
★★☆Currency and exchange were important elements of trade in the ancient world, enabling people to buy and sell items like food, pottery, and raw materials. If a Greek coin held more gold than an Egyptian coin due to its size or content, then a merchant could barter fewer Greek gold coins for more Egyptian ones, or for more material goods. This is why, at some point in their history, most world currencies in circulation today had a value fixed to a specific quantity of a recognised standard like silver and gold.
Write a program that converts Great British Pounds (GBP) into United States Dollar (USD), Euro, Yuan or Yen.
Remember to add a comment before a subprogram or selection statement to explain its purpose.
