"""
Complete this program that calculates conversions between US dollars and other currencies. (Please use Pyton 3.8)

In your main function, start a loop.
In the loop, ask the user what currency code they would like to convert to
And, how many dollars they want to convert.

If you scroll down, you can see an example response with the available 3-letter currency codes.

Call the get_exchange_rates() function. 
This function returns a dictionary with another dictionary inside it. 
You'll need to get the exchange rate from the dictionary.

If the user enters a currency code that is not in the dictionary, your program should not crash.
It should print a message saying the code was not found, and repeat the loop so they can try again.

Then, do the math. For example, if the user wants to convert $100 to Euros (EUR), 
and the exchange rate is 0.874, then you need to multiply the US Dollar amount by 
the exchange rate to get the amount in Euros. So to convert $100 to Euro, 100 * 0.874 = 87.4 Euro.

Display the result to the user. Format the number to 2 decimal places.

Don't modify the get_exchange_rates function or the example_exchange_rates function. 
These functions get data from exchangeratesapi.io. If this site is not available or your 
computer is not online, then get_exchange_rates will return an example dictionary that is the 
same structure as the exchangeratesapi.io response. This is not an error - your program will
do the same thing for real data as it does for example data.
