Off by a penny problem
Getting the off by a penny problem...
Enter an amount in double, for example 11.56: 12.35
Your amount 12.35 consists of
12 dollars
1 quarters
0 dimes
1 nickels
4 pennies
Press ENTER to continue...
Where do I properly add my + .00001
I tried a few places but it did not work...any insight...
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
// Receive the amount
cout << "Enter an amount in double, for example 11.56: ";
double amount;
cin >> amount;
int remainingAmount = static_cast<int>(amount * 100);
// Find the number of one dollars
int numberOfOneDollars = remainingAmount / 100;
remainingAmount = remainingAmount % 100;
// Find the number of quarters in the remaining amount
int numberOfQuarters = remainingAmount / 25;
remainingAmount = remainingAmount % 25;
// Find the number of dimes in the remaining amount
int numberOfDimes = remainingAmount / 10;
remainingAmount = remainingAmount % 10;
// Find the number of nickels in the remaining amount
int numberOfNickels = remainingAmount / 5;
remainingAmount = remainingAmount % 5;
// Find the number of pennies in the remaining amount
int numberOfPennies = remainingAmount;
// Display results
cout << "Your amount " << amount << " consists of \n" <<
"\t" << numberOfOneDollars << " dollars\n" <<
"\t" << numberOfQuarters << " quarters\n" <<
"\t" << numberOfDimes << " dimes\n" <<
"\t" << numberOfNickels << " nickels\n" <<
"\t" << numberOfPennies << " pennies";
/* Scaffolding code for testing purposes */
cin.ignore(256, '\n');
cout << "Press ENTER to continue..." << endl;
cin.get();
/* End Scaffolding */
return 0;

Before division I think. But the real solution is to keep track of money using an integer to represent pennies or whatever the smallest unit is.
