// This line makes the button, btnCalculate wait for a mouse click
// When the button is clicked, the displayCoins function is called
btnCalculate.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, displayCoins);

// This is the displayCoins function
// e:MouseEvent is the click event experienced by the button
// void indicates that the function does not return a value
