A beginner ML project that forecasts USD to Mauritian Rupee rates based on historical data
\# 💵 USD to MUR Exchange Rate Predictor
A beginner machine learning project that uses \*\*Linear Regression\*\* to predict the USD to Mauritian Rupee (MUR) exchange rate for any given year.
\---
\## 📌 About the Project
This project uses historical USD to MUR exchange rate data from \*\*2004 to 2024\*\* to train a Linear Regression model. You can input any year and get a predicted exchange rate — along with a visual graph showing actual vs predicted trends.
\---
\## 🧠 How It Works
1. Historical exchange rate data (2004–2024) is used as training data
1. A \*\*Linear Regression\*\* model is trained using `scikit-learn`
1. The user inputs a year
1. The model predicts the USD → MUR rate for that year
1. A `matplotlib` graph displays actual data, the regression line, and the prediction
\---
\## 📊 Sample Output
- Input year: `2026`
- Predicted rate: `~49.XX MUR per 1 USD`
- A graph showing the trend from 2004 onwards

\## 🛠️ Tech Stack
- Python 3.x
- scikit-learn
- matplotlib
