I have to write a program and i'm lost. I have to use C++ and have a program that does the following.

What's your name? Andrew

How many pennies do you have Nancy? 77

How many nickels do you have Andrew? 30

How many dimes do you have Andrew? 2

How many quarters do you have Andrew? 5

====================================================
Andrew's Net Worth
====================================================
Dollars : 3
Change : 72
====================================================

Your program should use the following values 45 pennies, 27 nickels, 15 dimes and 7 quarters.

It's for a sample class i'm taking, not necessarily homework. Any chance someone could code a program like that for me so i can see how it is done. Its a sample from my C++ book and i can't figure it out even though i've tried NUMEROUS codes. It takes your name input and then asks you how much change you have in forms of quarters, nickels, dimes, and pennies then calculates it into a dollar amount with remaining change.

Can anyone give me a hand? Possibly show me the code for it?

It's a simple program. Show us the program in which you got closest, and we'll correct it.

Unfortunately, we don't do homework. We do, however, help with it.

And who's Nancy? :p

Woah, I just realized something. Standard cout and cin functions don't work on my compiler....

What include file do I include? Lol this seems very basic, but it's one thing I just can't get (I was using another compiler)

I tried using

<iostream.h>

and

<iostream> using namespace std;

how can I use standard cout functions?!? lol

They should work.

Try that.

Screw you, I got a new compiler, which probably beats everyone's here, and I didn't know what the new variation of iostream was.

Isn't the point of asking questions to find answers? it was a 2 second answer.

You really should post code that you have attempted, then people will be more likely to help you...The easiest way I see to do this program is multiply how many of each coins you have by their value and just add it to the total

That's a pretty bold attitude for someone asking us for help.

Two points for you:

a) You highjacked a thread to ask a question, you got two answers within a day. That's nothing to complain about.
b) When you ask a question, you are hoping that someone will take the time out of their own busy lives to anwser you. Try to remember that it isn't mandatory that anyone here takes that time, and the more attitude you toss around, the less likely it is that someone actually will.
