Ok, I'm trying to make it so you can put in the number of quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies in that order, and it shows you how many dollars and how many cents that adds up to.

For example:

3 quarters 2 dimes 1 nickel 6 pennies

=

$1.06

And the program should output it like this:

Dollars: 1
Change: .06



Here's my code so far:


#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout << "Enter quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies in that order:\n";
int quarters, dimes, nickels, pennies;
cin >> quarters >> dimes >> nickels >> pennies;

const double penny = .01;
const double nickel = .05;
const double dime = .10;
const double quarter = .25;

double result = (penny * pennies) + (nickel * nickels) + (dime * dimes) + (quarter * quarters);

double change = result % 1;
double dollars = (int)result;
cout << result << " is the total amount" << endl;
cout << "Dollars: " << dollars << endl;
cout << "Change: " << change << endl << endl << endl;

return 0;
}



How do I make it work. I can't figure out what to do with my dollars and cents, and I tried modulousing them result % 1 but I can't because result is double.

Please help, need asap, thanks

Well, it would take a little messing around, but it can be done. Printf format specifiers might help.

The way I'd do it would just be to use ints. Have penny as 1, nickel as 5, and so on. When you get the total, the total divided by 100 would be the number of dollars and the total modulus 100 would be cents.

Woah, I never would have thought of that. Thanks machiavelli


Give me a few moments, and I'll repost my code

// asdjkfl;.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout << "Enter quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies in that order:\n";
int quarters, dimes, nickels, pennies;
cin >> quarters >> dimes >> nickels >> pennies;

const int penny = 1;
const int nickel = 5;
const int dime = 10;
const int quarter = 25;

int result = (penny * pennies) + (nickel * nickels) + (dime * dimes) + (quarter * quarters);

int change = result % 100;
int dollars = result / 100;
cout << result << " is the total amount" << endl;
cout << "Dollars: " << dollars << endl;
cout << "Change: " << change << endl << endl << endl;

return 0;
}







guess I'm a quick learner

thanks again machiavelli

No problem. Glad you got it working.
