17,062 Pointshow to turn an argument from the command line to a numeric value
I have done the challnage Andrew mentioned which is building a coins converter command application but i got a problem.
Im using this api: https://www.amdoren.com/currency-api/
The project is working 100% without the command line argument and i tested it by using an hard coded argument that pass in into the api.
working exmaple:
number
valid
Status code: 200
{ error: 0, error_message: '-', amount: 18.2364 }
The converted currencey from USD to EUR for the amount of 20 is 18.2364EUR
i run the app like this: node <path> USD EUR 2(which functions has my arguments at the convertCoin function at the app.js file. when i try to implment the option for users to pass in 2 currencies and an amount to convert, i see this error:,
{ error: 300,
error_message: 'Amount must be numeric: undefined.',
amount: 0 }
There is an error from the API : Amount must be numeric: undefined.
