# Swift Fundamentals III Module Project
2+
3+
The goal of today's module project is to create a Currency Conversion playground that can convert from US dollars (USD) to Canadian dollars (CAD) and Mexican Pesos (MXN).
4+
5+
Get the currency conversion value from Google:
6+
7+
On August 7th, 2019 they were:
8+
9+
$1 USD to $1.33 CAD
10+
$1 USD to $19.70 MXN
11+
12+
## Add the Conversion Logic
13+
14+
1. Create a currency type enum above the class and below the `import` statements.
15+
16+
```swift
17+
enum Currency {
18+
case cad
19+
case mxn
20+
}
21+
```
22+
23+
2. Create a property named `currency` of type `Currency`. This will store the current currency type we'll be converting to. Set an initial value of `.cad`.
24+
3. Create a helper method to calculate the currency based on the Currency using the method signature:
25+
```swift
26+
func convert(_ dollars: Double) -> Double {
27+
28+
}
29+
```
30+
4. In the above method:
31+
* Check the value of `currency` to see whether you should convert to CAD or MXN
32+
* Perform the conversion with the dollars passed into this method
33+
* Return the converted value
34+
5. Create a function called `convert(amountString: String)` In it, do the following:
35+
* create a constant called `amount`. Its value should be the `amountString` that is initialized into a `Double`
36+
* use a `guard let` to unwrap the new `amount` constant.
37+
* convert the dollar amount to the expected currency (hint, you'll want to call the `convert` method you created in step 3)
38+
* Update the `toCurrencyTextField.text` property with the converted currency value
39+
40+
## Go Further (Optional)
41+
42+
1. Customize the output using a `NumberFormatter`
43+
44+
```swift
45+
var currencyFormatter: NumberFormatter = {
46+
let formatter = NumberFormatter()
47+
formatter.numberStyle = .currency
48+
return formatter
49+
}()
50+
```
51+
52+
2. Use the `string(from:)` method to convert from a number to a String for display
