    Can someone review?

    Can someone review this code and tell me what you think about it, does it look correct? Its a code for converting foreighn currency



    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;

    int main()
    {
    //declare constant variables for foreign conversions
    const float swissConvRate = float(.6072);
    const float britConvRate = float(1.4320);
    const float japanConvRate = float(.0081);
    const float canadaConvRate = float(.6556);
    const float euroConvRate = float(.8923);
    //declare constant variables for monetary conversions
    float amerConversion = 0;
    float swissConversion = 0;
    float britConversion = 0;
    float japanConversion = 0;
    float canadaConversion = 0;
    float euroConversion = 0;

    //enter the American dollar amount to be converted
    cout << "Enter the amount in US Dollar: ";
    cin >> amerConversion;

    //calculate conversions from American dollars to foreign monies
    swissConversion = amerConversion/swissConvRate;
    britConversion = amerConversion/britConvRate;
    japanConversion = amerConversion/japanConvRate;
    canadaConversion = amerConversion/canadaConvRate;
    euroConversion = amerConversion/euroConvRate;

    //setting the output to be formatted with two characters after te decimal pt.
    cout << fixed;
    cout.precision(2);

    //display the American dollar value and the 5 foreign conversions
    cout << amerConversion << " US Dollars = " << swissConversion << " Swiss Francs" <<endl;
    cout << amerConversion << " US Dollars = " << britConversion << " British Pounds" <<endl;
    cout << amerConversion << " US Dollars = " << japanConversion << " Japanese Yens" <<endl;
    cout << amerConversion << " US Dollars = " << canadaConversion << " Canadian Dollars"
    <<endl;
    cout << amerConversion << " US Dollars = " << euroConversion << " Euros" <<endl;
    return 0;
    }
    //end of main function

    Also, I would set the precision of cout higher. Reading scientific notation is frusterating.
