For some reason, I cannot think of the algorithm behind making this program. I have thought it through several times; however, it just doesn't make sense. Could someone lead my through the program, by means of some seudocode or actual code or something? Thanks
Perhaps you could specify what your program needs to do in more detail and I'll try to help out with an algorithm.
-Prelude
Well, for example if the program promted the user to enter an amount like 95 cents, the program would display 3 quartes, and 2 dimes, which is the most efficient way of giving change. IF the user enters more than 99 cents, it will give the user en error and loop.
-PreludeCode:IF value <= 99
WHILE value > 0
IF value >= 25
quarters = quarters + 1
value = value - 25
ELSE IF value >= 10
dimes = dimes + 1
value = value - 10
ELSE IF value >= 5
nickels = nickels + 1
value = value - 5
ELSE
pennies = pennies + 1
value = value - 1
LOOP
ELSE
PRINT error message
