📂 Projects Overview

1. Currency Converter 💱

A command-line tool that converts amounts between different currencies based on exchange rates.

Key Features:

• Accepts user input for source currency, target currency, and amount.
• Performs real-time (or static) calculations.
• Formats output to 2 decimal places.

Concepts Applied:

• Data Types: Floats and Strings.
• Dictionaries: Storing exchange rates (e.g., {'USD': 1.0, 'EUR': 0.85}).
• Math Operations: performing the conversion logic.
• APIs (Optional): Fetching live rates using libraries like requests.

2. Random Password Generator 🔐

A security tool that generates strong, random passwords to specific user requirements.

Key Features:

• User defines the length of the password.
• Option to include uppercase, numbers, and special symbols.
• Ensures randomness for high security.

Concepts Applied:

• The random Module: Using random.choice() and random.shuffle().
• The string Module: Accessing ascii_letters, digits, and punctuation.
• Loops: Iterating to build the password string.
• Input Validation: Ensuring the user requests a valid length.

💻 Code Snippets

Currency Conversion Logic

def convert_currency(amount, rate):
    """
    Converts amount based on the provided exchange rate.
    """
    return round(amount * rate, 2)

📚 Future Improvements

• GUI: Adding a graphical interface using Tkinter or PyQt.
• Live Data: Connecting the Currency Converter to a live API (like Open Exchange Rates).
• Clipboard Support: Automatically copying the generated password to the clipboard using pyperclip.
