Could anybody tell me what my mistakes are ?

#include <stdio.h>

#include <math.h>
 

int main (void)
 
{

  float dollar;
      

      do

{

     dollar=get_float("Enter your change :");
}
     

      while (dollar>=0);


  int cents= round (dollar*100);

  int coins=0;


      while (cents>=25)


 {

     cents= cents-25;

     coins++;

 }
    

        while (cents>=10)
 {

     cents= cents-10;

     coins++;

 }
     

     while (cents=cents-5)

 {

     cents= cents-5;


     coins++;

 }
     

     while (cents>=1)

 {

     cents=cents-1;

     coins++;

 }

 

     printf ("You will need at least %i coins", coins);

 
}

$ ./cash

do
{
   dollar=get_float("Enter your change :");
}
while (dollar>=0);

Why would you want the loop to repeat when a correct value is input? Also, did you test the program yourself before running check50?

  • Yes I did test it, and the output is correct, could you please give me a correct example to my mistake?

  • If you tested with this code, you didn't get a correct answer. In fact, you couldn't get any answer at all. THIS code would just keep asking for input until you gave it a negative number.

  • You seem to be mistaken. The code does give correct output. The only problem that I am having is that I can not get the $ to move one line down. Even though I write \n") But the answers as I mentioned before are correct.

  • Is it possible that you've been editing and recompiling one version of your code and the code above is another version? It is simply impossible for the code to get past the test condition in the while loop with a positive integer.
