PSET1 So my code executes and prompt me for the money owed but that's it..nothing happens. Can someone point me in the right direction

Question

I don't know what I'm doing wrong I get no errors. I feel like my code

#include <cs50.h> #include <math.h> #include <stdio.h>

int main(void) { float x;

float a = 25;
float b = 10;
float c = 5;
float d = 1;
int coins = 0;

do
{
    //prompt the user
    x = get_float("%s", "change owed? ");
}
while (x < 0);


int y = round(x * 100);

while (a <= y ){
    return(y - b);
    coins++;
}
while (b <= y ){
    return(y - c);
    coins++;
}
while (c <= y ){
    return(y - c);
    coins++;
}
while (d <= y ){
    return(y - d);
    coins++;
}
printf("The number of coins is %i\n", coins);

}

Answer 1

The return statement ends the execution of a function, returning control to the calling function.

In this case your function is main(), so when you call return it will exit your program, passing the value to the operating system as an "exit code" (which you won't see unless you explicitly check for it).

Answer 2

try using /* */ to surround all of your comments instead of the other // prefix. i don’t know why, but my program wouldn’t pass the checks when i used //. it could be something to do with the 2021 upgrades or some issue with clang maybe, i really don’t know but might be worth a shot..

Answer 3

~First of all when you prompt user why did you typed %s just put like this x = get_float( "change owed") ; ~Second mistake is logical For while loop you just have to divide the rounded number by 25 or 10 or 5 and so on. And then increment the number.

Example while( y / 25){ Coins ++ } ; And so on :-)
