Task #1 – Change Maker

The task was: Write the pseudocode for helping a cashier give you the correct change. Assume that a person brings hundreds to pennies to you and wishes to the receive quarters, dimes, and nickels back. There is a single input of the number of pennies given to the cashier. There will be several outputs: the number of quarters, dimes, nickels, and remaining pennies to be returned.

For this program, you will ask the user to enter the number of pennies that he/she has. The output will be the Number of Quarters, Number of Dimes, Number of Nickels, and Number of Pennies.

I recommend that you use the MOD function for this problem. I’ll assume that you’ll use the pseudocode example that I showed in class. Provide me with just the source code for this task.

Explanation / Answer

ChangeTest.java

import java.util.Scanner;

public class ChangeTest {

  
   public static void main(String[] args) {
       Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
       System.out.print("Enter the number of pennies: ");
       int cents = scan.nextInt();
      
           int quarters = cents / 25;
           cents = cents % 25;
           int dimes = cents/ 10;
           cents = cents % 10;
           int nickels = cents / 5;
           cents = cents % 5;
           int penny = cents;
           System.out.println("Number of quarters: "+quarters);
           System.out.println("Number of dimes: "+dimes);
           System.out.println("Number of nickels: "+nickels);
           System.out.println("Number of pennies: "+penny);
      

   }

}

Output:

Enter the number of pennies: 119
Number of quarters: 4
Number of dimes: 1
Number of nickels: 1
Number of pennies: 4
