Change.cpp help

[verdell32]

We are learning in Borland C++ 5 so I am trying to teach myself at the same time in Visual C++.NET 2003.


Write a program that inputs the amount of a sale and an amount tendered by a customer. The program should then calculate the total amount of change due and display the same. Then the program should calculate the individual bills and coins that would be used to give change back to a customer.

Sample output: Another example:

Amount tendered : $50.00 Amount tendered : $200.00
Amount of sale : $12.13 Amount of sale : $121.62
Your total change: $37.87 Your total change: $ 78.38
--------------------------------- -----------------------------------
$50 0 1 fifty
$20 1 1 twenty
$10 1 0 tens
$ 5 1 1 five
$ 1 2 3 ones
50¢ 1 0 half dollars
25¢ 1 1 quarter
10¢ 1 1 dime
5¢ 0 0 nickels
1¢ 2 3 pennies

Thanks for all your help.

lol not again

i'm confused, was this supposed to be a response to another thread? or is there really no question your asking? .. you are more likely get a response if you post where you are so far, and asking specific questions. no one is just going to do your homework as you post it.

Wait a minute.

Verdell, get back to your first thread. Analize it.
Then go the coins change thread and analize the two solutions I gave. See if there is a logic behind all this.
Here are your references:

DATE POST

MONEY POST

lol, that's what i was afraid of after my first post .. it looked like there was already something going on. heh

Verdell32, why did you edit your original post? That wasn't nessecery at all. I think you misinterpreted the replies in here.

You should have clicked on those two links I gave you. You would have found three complete apps that almost do exactly as you wanted. All you needed to do is to experiment with them -and to look at them closely- to see that your specific money problem has been solved in an earlier post.

Basically all you needed to add is one extra substraction:
Money - Cost = ToChangeMoney.
After that, you could have unleashed the algorithms in those threads on ToChangeMoney.

Everbody has a different learning curve maybe I don't catch on as fast ...

That is of no relevance to me. Only hard work is what I am interested in. In that case I am infinite patient. If a student needs it, I'll stay up to GMT time (CET around here), or miss my weekend.
Post your problem once again, and I'll work on it. We are not as bad we look in my fantasy .

I apologize that I did misinterpet your messages; I thought you were trying to be funny when you told me to go look at the other ones, I guess a part of mis-communication. I am currently at school right now and I will post my information again. I am trying to learn as much as I can; while I am taking this first C++ course; I am learning on my own Visual basic.NET. I really do appreciate all your help.

Have a blessed day.
