CISC Homework H02

Introduction

In this assignment, you will continue adding functionality to your currency conversion web application.

You will use the currency code you have been assigned (e.g. USD, EURO), and convert from that currency to another currency.
Here are a few things that you will need to complete this assignment:

• A working version of the web application you created for H01
• Knowledge about basic for loops and if statements
• Knowledge about DOM objects in web forms. A good reference includes:
  • www.w3schools.com
  • Your book
• Knowledge about elements and attributes for the elements that you will use

Overview

In this assignment, you will:

• Add conversion functionality to your web application using only for loops for your conversion method
• Dynamically output the results of the conversion into your web application

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Reading

Yes... More Reading. Read the book (if you haven't already) and really understand control structures.

Step 2: Review and study the holes in the code to get familair for what the assignment is asking you to do.

Pay special attention to the converter.js file again and how the code calls the conversion and output functions.

Step 3: Proceed with filling in the code in the web page at the locations marked by the indicators below.

• *1* — You should enter the function call for convertCurrency() JavaScript function using the correct input attribute for your button.

Step 4: Proceed with filling in the JavaScript code in the converter.js file marked by the indicators below

• *1* — Fill in convertCurrency().
  Hints:
  • You will need to obtain the correct elements from the web application to work with.
  • You MUST use a for loop for your currency conversions. You may only use multiplication for any value that is the decimal part of the currency.
  • With that said, it is a good idea to use basic math to split the input currency into a unit part and a decimal part (i.e. unit.decimal)
• *2* — Fill in the writeAnswer() function.
  Hints:
• Do not worry about decimal places for right now. This assignment just concerns producing meaninful output.
• You MUST create a meaninful sentence for your output. (i.e. Refrain from simply regurgitating the converted answer
