My code is not presented correctly in the question. I have copied it from Gedit and pasted it in the text editor. When I posted it and saw the answer, I realised that some of my code was missing and other parts had been changed. I have now tried to edit my question and just type my code instead of pasting it, but still the same thing happens. The >= is being changed into just and = sign. and also other code in the 'if' statement has been removed. Can anyone please help me with this? If I cannot present my code properly, I will never get the right help with my Greedy issue.
This was my original question:
I have been working on Greedy for over a week and still stuck on the same element: When change is .80 only 3 coins are counted. I have written the code in several different ways and used a lot of the discussion feedback from other users but still got nowhere. Please give me advise on my work so I can improve my code to make it work properly. Thanks, Tessa
The outcome is 3 coins after every 'if' or 'else' statement. I believe only the quarters are being counted and not the dimes, nickels and pennies.
#include
#include
#include
int main (void)
{
int cents = 0;
float change;
do
{
printf("How much change is owed?: ");
change = GetFloat();
}
while (change = 25)
{
do
{
cents = cents - (coins * 25);
coins += cents / 25;
}
while (cents >= 25);
}
else if (cents = 10)
{
do
{
cents = cents % 10;
coins += cents / 10;
}
while (cents = 10);
}
else if (cents = 5)
{
do
{
cents = cents % 5;
coins += cents / 5;
}
while (cents = 5);
}
else (cents = 1)
{
do
{
cents = cents % 1;
coins += cents / 1;
}
while (cents 1);
}
}
while (cents > 0);
printf("I was greedy and only used %d coins\n", coins);
}
