🏗️ Core Logic Explained

As a developer, I focused on several key programming principles for this project:

1. Asynchronous Data Handling

I used the fetch API combined with async/await to ensure a smooth user experience while retrieving data from an external server.

2. Object Manipulation

The application parses a complex JSON object from the API. I used Object.keys() to dynamically populate the dropdown menus, ensuring the UI stays updated if the API adds new currencies.

3. Mathematical Ratio Formula

Since the API provides rates relative to USD, I implemented the following cross-conversion logic: $$Result = (Amount / Rate_{From}) \times Rate_{To}$$
