2. Add your new currency code (e.g., GBP for British Pound) to the enum list.
3. Update the exchangeToUSD method in the Exchanger.java file to include the new currency and its exchange rate using a switch statement.

Example

To add a new currency (e.g., GBP):

1. In Currency.java:

   enum Currency {
       EUR, UAH, CHF, GBP // Add your new currency here
   }

2. In Exchanger.java, update the exchangeToUSD method:

double exchangeToUSD(Currency IFO, int money) {
    double total = 0; // Initialize total

    switch (IFO) {
        case EUR:
            total = money * 1.13;
            break;
        case UAH:
            total = money * 0.024;
            break;
        case CHF: 
            total = money * 1.21;
            break;
        case GBP: // Add your new currency case here
            total = money * 1.39; // Example exchange rate
            break;
        default:
            System.out.println("There is no such IFO in our base.");
            return -1; // Return -1 to indicate an error
    }

    return total; // Return the result
}
