How to deduce/print the currency code from the currency symbol using Python?

I have certain documents from which i have extracted the currency symbol like €, £, $ etc.

I want to write a code in python where after reading these symbols it can give me the respective currency code as an output.

For eg. if i get the currency symbol as €, the output should be EURO or if the currency symbol is $ the output should be USD

Solution

  • Use a Dictionary. These are like Hash Tables.

    currency = { "€": "EURO", "$": "USD" }
print (currency["$"])

    Prints USD
