Line 69. The variable zambianKwacha does not exist inside that function.

Read the error messages from the compiler. They exist for a reason.

Edit: Forget everything that was in this post I misread.

its not returning the correct conversion though?

(Forget my last post)
Your problem, like @Moschops stated, is that the variables you are using does not exist. swedishKrona, icelandicKrona and zambianKwacha does not exist, you havent created them. You need to create these variables before using them, which Im sure you already know. You're also not using the arguments you pass to the functions.
