        print "Enter a positive number"
        amount = input("Enter the amount of purchase: ")
    convert = raw_input("Enter the currency in which you want to convert: ")
    if convert.lower() == "yen":
        camount = 82.66*amount
    elif convert.lower() == "canadian dollars":

    elif convert.lower() == "euro":
        camount = 0.77*amount
    elif convert.lower() == "pound":
        camount = 0.625*amount
    elif convert.lower() == "real":
        camount = 2.1338*amount
