Hello all,
I have a real n00b question. I just started my c++ class about 2
weeks ago and we have an assignment. We have to make a program that makes
change, and then shows how many dollars/quarters/dimes/nickles/pennies in
change the customer gets back....
I could swear my math is correct(I checked it on my calculator over
10 times), I just have no idea why it is not working correctly. It seems
the dollars/quarters/dimes seems to be working but the nickles and pennies
are kinda messed up...When I put an amount of $20.00 owed and $22.72 paid..I
of course get $2.72 in change...and then it displays 2 dollar 2 quarter 2
dime 0 nickle 1 penny.
Take a look at my code in C++:
//Program Purpose : To help students produce change from a sale
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
float owe = 0.0;
float paid = 0.0;
float change = 0.0;
int dollar = 0 ;
int quarter = 0 ;
int dime = 0 ;
int nickle = 0;
int penny = 0;
//enter input items
cout << "Enter Amount Owed: " ;
cin >> owe;
cout << "Enter Amount Paid: " ;
cin >> paid;
//calculate total owed in change
change = paid - owe;
dollar = change / 1;
quarter = (change - dollar) / .25;
dime = (change - dollar - (quarter * .25)) / .1;
nickle = (change - dollar - (quarter * .25) - (dime * .1)) / .05;
penny = (change - dollar - (quarter * .25) - (dime * .1) - (nickle * .05))
/ .01;
//display output items
cout << "change: " << change << endl;
cout << "dollar(s): " << dollar << endl;
cout << "quarter(s): " << quarter << endl;
cout << "dime(s): " << dime << endl;
cout << "nickel(s): " << nickle << endl;
cout << "penny(s): " << penny << endl;
return 0;
}
//end main function
Thanks for the help!!
