        }
    }

    i should be able to use USD, CNY, and JPY. However it seems only the USD ($) will run... doesnt matter which currency symbol the user requests

    Welcome to the forum! Thanks for taking the time to learn how to post code correctly. If you haven't already, please read this topic to learn other useful info for new members.

    And thanks for providing a runnable example. Since the user input is unclear, sample runs would also be helpful. Show a few user inputs, actual results, and desired results.
