FA-61883 / Currency rounding and FX conversion / Member archive

A missing cross rate is silently treated as parity · case 03

Converting into a currency with no published rate returns the USD amount relabelled.

Member previewVariant 3 · 3 implementations · 8 checks per implementation

Case contract

solve(amount, frm, to, rates): rates maps a currency to units of that currency per 1 USD (decimal strings); USD is implicitly 1 when absent. Convert exactly as amount / rate[frm] * rate[to] with no intermediate rounding, then round half-even to the target exponent (USD/EUR/GBP/CHF/SEK/NOK 2, JPY/KRW 0, KWD 3, CLF 4) and return a plain string. A missing rate returns 'ERR:no-rate:<code>', a zero or negative rate 'ERR:bad-rate:<code>' (source checked first).

Why this case matters

Currency amounts must be rounded at the right stage and in the right unit, or ledgers, quotes and settlements drift by minor units.
