Thread: Exercise 3 --- Correct Change

Okay. Will do.

What do you mean, Jim?

I mean that you can do this assignment without any if() statements. Something like:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int dollars = 0;
    int quarters = 0;
    int dimes = 0;
    int nickels = 0;
    int pennies = 0;

    printf("Please enter the starting amount in pennies: ");
    scanf("%d", &pennies);
    
    dollars = pennies / 100;
    pennies = pennies - (100 * dollars);

    quarters = pennies / 25;
    pennies = pennies - (25 * quarters);

    dimes = pennies / 10;
    pennies = pennies - (10 * dimes);

    nickels = pennies / 5;
    pennies = pennies - (5 * nickels);

 
    printf("Your change is : %d dollars, %d quarters, %d dimes, %d nickels, and %d pennies.\n", dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels, pennies);
 
    return(0);
}

Jim

Oh, ok. So when do you suggest I use the if statement and when not to use it?
