*Note:
You can take a video of your bot running simply by using your phone. Please upload

Practice 1
Create a process named “BitcoinQuote” in UiPath that can go to Google and get the real-time quote of Bitcoin in USD.
Follow the following instructions and answer questions if required.
• Use “Open Browser” to open http://www.google.com
• Use “Type Into” to type “Bitcoin to USD” in the Google search bar
Q1:
Use all the default properties of the “Type Into” activity and run the current process several times, what do you observe when the bot types into the search bar?
Q2:
Instead of using the Default input method, which input method do you think should be adopted to ensure the accuracy and speed of the tying?
Based on your answer in Q2, please choose the appropriate input method in the property section.
• Use “Send Hotkey” to send an enter key (hint: you do not need to use “indicate on screen”)
• Use “Get Text” to extract the quote of Bitcoin in USD
• Use a “Message Box” to show the extracted quote
• Use “Close Tab” to close the browser
• Save the process and run it several times to ensure its robustness
• Go back to the “Type Into” activity, change “Bitcoin to USD” into “Bitcoin to CAD”, and directly run the bot.
Q3:
Are you getting an error message? If so, what does it say? Why does this happen? How can you fix it?
Please fix the above issue and make sure that your bot can get the quote of Bitcoin in any currency.
Hint: you can use the “Repair” in “Edit Selector” to fix the issue.
• Save the process, take a video, and submit the video link and .xaml file.
