Sample input and output would be extraordinarily helpful in solving this problem.

Sorry, the school had ended before I finished posting, so it was rather rushed. Input, for the moment, is static and pre-defined. The objective is to input an amount of money as well as the price of an item and have it output the change using the minimum number of coins/bills possible. As of now, a total value of 20.00 with an item price of 5.00 will output something like 9 twenties, 1 ten, and one five. If I remember correctly. Yes, the variable names are terrible (I did the original within the first month of programming). I found a whole bunch of mistakes in it already, but I fixed them. The nice thing here is, Java AND Turing people can help me! lol (really, laughing right now) Thanks.

I just ran your program and it looked fine to me.
