Whats wrong with the following code?

Question

if currencyName =( "Euros" )
          amount = amount * 1.02;
      else if currencyName =( "Yen" )
          amount = amount * 1.20;
      else if currencyName =( "Pesos" )
          amount = amount * 10;I get error that a ( is needed
I tried the following:
if (currencyName =( "Euros" ))
          amount = amount * 1.02;
      else if (currencyName =( "Yen" ))
          amount = amount * 1.20;
      else if (currencyName =( "Pesos" ))
          amount = amount * 10;
      }This gave me error required boolean with arrow pointing to the equals sign.

Answer 1

Now it's not putting the changed number into amount (I think)
when I run it gives me the orginal number instead of the mutilpied number.
I must be missing something rather obvious here.
       // get dollar amount
      double amount =
        Double.parseDouble( dollarJTextField.getText() );
      // get currencty name
      String currencyName = dollarJTextField.getText() ;
      // perform currency conversion
      if (currencyName.equals( "Euros" ))
          amount*= 1.02;
      else if (currencyName.equals( "Yen" ))
          amount*= 1.20;
      else if (currencyName.equals( "Pesos" ))
          amount*= amount * 10;
      //display converted amount
      convertedJTextField.setText( String.valueOf( amount) );
