c++ beginner having trouble writing a basic currency converter
I am still learnning the basics of C++ and have been given the assignment of writing my own currency converter program. I have tried to figure as much out from the book as I can and also studied so examples I found online But know I am stuck. Can some one please take a look and see what I have done wrong.
//This program converts U.S. Dollars to Yen
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
char choice;
void knownexchangerate()// chose if you know the current exchange rate
{
float solve1; // dollars * exchange rate = yen
float amount1; // amount in U.S. dollars
float exrate1; // exchange rate
cout <<"Enter the amount in U.S. Dollars you want that you want to convert to Yen." <<endl;
cin >>amount1;
cout <<"Enter the current exchange rate. " <<endl;
cin >>exrate1;
solve1 = amount1*exrate1;
cout << solve1 <<" Yen." <<endl;
}
void unknownexchangerate()
{
float solve1; // dollars * exchange rate = yen
float amount1;// amount in U.S. dollars
cout <<"Enter the amount in U.S. Dollars you want that you want to convert to Yen." <<endl;
cin >>amount1;
solve1 = amount1*81.25; // amount of US dollars * 81.25 exchange rate as of 11-19-2012
cout << solve1 <<" Yen." <<endl;
}
int main()
{
cout <<"Do you Know the current exchange rate for U.S. Dollars to Yen? Enter 1 for yes 2 for no " <<endl;
cout <<"1)Yes 2)no " <<endl;
cin >>choice;
if (choice == '1')
{
knownexchangerate();
}
else if (choice == '2')
{
unknownexchangerate();
}
else cout <<"Not a valid choice. Please enter one of the following: 1 or 2 " <<endl;
return 0;
}

If there is an error message, tell us the error message.
If it does something you don't want it to do, tell us what that is.
If it does not do something you want it to, tell us what that is.
If it does something you don't want it to do, tell us what that is.

The program appears to work but I keep getting the message
Debugging information for Odom final.exe cannot befound or does not match. Binary was not built with debug information. other than that it appears to work I even tweaked it some.
