In our days, coding is such a great skill for each of us and I am glad I got the opportunity to learn how to code. I liked following the steps accurately until finishing the code and have it working. Coding is fun but very complicated. Every tiny mistake can ruin the whole code. For example, if you write “Change” with a capital c instead of “change” with a lowercase c, the whole code might not work. This is actually what happened to me. A challenge that I had to go through while our final project was finding those mistakes. After finishing coding, I saw that my app does not work, even though I have all the text that I need to have. Thanks to Mrs. Clevelend, our math teacher, who helped me find the tiny mistake, my code is now working!

So, if you ever need to convert money from one of the 5 most common currencies used across the globe, to Canadian dollars, you can always use the app that I coded! Here is the app-
