If you are requesting the amount in the form of 0-99 you should enter it into an integer. You can then use the mod operator to accomplish what you need.





quarters=amount/25;


amount=amount%25;





dimes=amount/10;


amount=amount%10;





etc.
Reply:So that we can know what you are trying to do, please put comments in your program. Also please tell us what you are entering and what is coming out. THe way it is written, what comes out should be the same as what you put in, since you restore "amount" over and over.

OK, since you want to print out the number of quarters, etc, then print out the quarters, not the amount. In other words,





cout %26lt;%26lt; "The number of quarters is " %26lt;%26lt; quarters%26lt;%26lt;"\n";





and so on for the other types of coins.
