    Please have a look at my code for help, and then attempt it yourself. Otherwise he might be suspicious of cheating and/or you'll never learn C. I'd normally flame, but I'm in a good mood [tired].

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #define FRANKS 5.05 
    /* this means anytime you type FRANKS, it is replaced with 5.05 */
    #define DM 1.47 
    /* same here except with DM */
    
    int main(void) 
    {
      float input;
      int choice;
      printf("Enter amount in dollars $"); 
      scanf("%f",&input); 
    /* get the floating point (%f) input, this is a number with a 
    decimal point (although it doesnt need one) */
      printf("Convert to (1)Franks or (2)Deutsche Marks? >");
      scanf("%d",&choice); 
    /* get a decimal integer (%d) input, no decimal point */
      if(choice == 1)
       printf("$%.2f = %.2fF",input,input*FRANKS); 
    /* * is the symbol for multiplication */
      else if(choice == 2)
       printf("$%.2f = %.2fDM",input,input*DM);
      else
       printf("Invalid choice.");
      return 0;
    }
