Convertinga an old turing program to java..

[Insectoid]

we all remember this thread, right? http://compsci.ca/v3/viewtopic.php?p=159343&highlight=#159343

Well, This year, I have to do the same thing in Java. I figured, heck, I'll just use the same code and convert it to java! unfortunately, this comes with the same glitches as a year ago. I looked over it, but can't find the issue (Terrible at debugging I am). Any help. (holy nostalgia...). Anyways, the point is, it gives me the wrong ammount of change.

Super messy code (Very much miss F2 from Turing...)

code:

public class change_maker { public static void main(String [] args) { int money  = 20000; int change; //The remaining change; int total = 500; int twent = 2000; int ten = 1000; int five = 500 ; int toon = 200 ; int loon = 100 ; int quart= 25 ; int dime = 10 ; int nick = 5; int penn = 1 ; int totaltwent ; int totalten ; int totalfive ; int totaltoon ; int totalloon ; int totalquart ; int totaldime ; int totalnick ; int totalpenn ; change = money - total; totaltwent = change / twent; change = change % twent; totalten = change / ten; change = change % ten; totalfive = change / five; change = change % five; totaltoon = change / toon; change = change % toon; totalloon = change / loon; change = change % loon; totalquart = change / quart; change = change % quart; totaldime = change / dime; change = change % dime; totalnick = change / nick; change = change % nick; totalpenn = change; System.out.println ("Your change is:" ); if (totaltwent > 0) {     System.out.println ( totaltwent+ " twenties"); } if (totalten > 0) {             System.out.println ( totalten+ " tens"); } if (totalfive > 0) {     System.out.println ( totalfive+ " fives"); } if (totaltoon > 0) {     System.out.println ( totaltoon+ " toonies"); } if (totalloon > 0) {     System.out.println ( totalloon+ " loonies"); } if (totalquart > 0) {     System.out.println ( totalquart+ " quarters"); } if (totaldime > 0) {     System.out.println ( totaldime+ " dimes"); } if (totalnick > 0) {     System.out.println ( totalnick+ " nickels"); } if (totalpenn > 0){     System.out.println ( totalpenn+ " pennies"); }                   }         }

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.

You sure you didn't get this?:

code:

9 twenties 1 tens 1 fives

Because that is not fine. This totals to $195 change after entering $20.00.

EDIT: Oh, crap. The problem was not my code, but my static input. I had it set to 20000 cents ($200) rather than 2000 cents ($20). I must say, this is the absolute stupidest mistake of my life. Wow...

Then you've got a lot of catching up to do.
