The currency of one country differs in value from that in another country. Let’s say, we are visiting the US. We will need US currency which is called the dollar. A currency converter will help us understand how many dollars we will get for a certain amount of rupees.

Temperature Converter: A temperature converter helps in the conversion of the measurement units of temperature recorded in a particular unit to the other. We measure temperature in Fahrenheit and Celcius. To convert temperature from Celcius to Fahrenheit we use the formula: Fahrenheit value = (Celcius value x 1.8) + 32.
