Question

I am looking for pseudocode for any type of conversion program... i.e metric, currency

Answer 1

For a general-purpose conversion program, I would probably have the actual conversion data in a separate file (database, flat-file or whatever). The following assumes the file is in the format from_units, to_units, conversion_amount (for example inch,centimeter,2.54):

Controls of a drop-down selection box, text box and pushbutton

Load conversion file values into drop-down control

When 'Convert' button pressed

if (textbox.value not numeric) error "Please enter numeric value in text box"

else display dropdown.value * textbox.value
