Thread: having problems

I am new to this and experiencing some problems. I am trying to create a converter where i type in a dollar amount and it will return the amount of quarters, dimes, nickles, or pennies that it would take to make that dollar amount

Im not getting an amount as an output. When I enter a dollar amount $1 and choose to convert it to change, example pennies, the output is 011.

basically it doesn't convert $1 to 100 pennies or 4 quarters

I need help. If somebody could look at the code and tell me where I am going wrong.

In the following snippet from main()

Code:

    {
        if ( money < 1 ) // if dollar amount if 1 or less end loop
            return -1;
        else
            if ( choice == 1 ) // if user types 1 then
                return total = (money * ( PENNY * 100 )); // total pennies
            else
                if ( choice == 2 ) // if user types 2 then
                    return ( money = ( DIME * 10)) ; // total dimes
                else
                    if ( choice == 3 ) // if user types 3 then
                        return ( money = ( QUARTER * 4)); // total quarters
                    else
                        if ( choice == 4 ) //if user types quarter
                            return ( money = ( NICKEL * 20 )); // nickles
    }

When a program encounters a return statement it "returns" from the function without executing any code following the return. Since this is from main() the program ends without doing anything else.

In future please post your code in the post (contained in code tags) not as an attachment.
