Convertiny Monetary Units

I got the dollars to work but now I can`t figure out how to display the quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies correctly. Technically they show up but my professor wants $1.35 to show up as 1 dollar 1 quarter and 1 dime. But, mine shows up as 1 dollars 5 Quarters 13 Dimes 27 Nickels 135 Pennies. Here is my code:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class ComputeChange {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter an amount in double, for example 11.56: " );
double number = input.nextDouble();
System.out.println("Your amount " + number + " consists of ");
int remainingamount = (int)(number*100);
int Quarters = remainingamount/25;
int Dimes = remainingamount/10;
int Nickels = remainingamount/5;
int Pennies = remainingamount;
if (number == 1) {
System.out.print("1 dollar ");
}
else if (number > 1) {
System.out.print((int)number + " dollars ");
}
if (number == 0) {
System.out.println("");
}
System.out.print(Quarters + " Quarters " + Dimes + " Dimes " + Nickels + " Nickels " + Pennies + " Pennies");
}
}

For each different coin you calculate, you need to remove this from the remaining amount. Such as (untested):
int Dollars = (int)number;
int remainingamount = (int)((number-Dollars)*100);
int Quarters = remainingamount/25;
remainingamount -= Quaters * 25;
int Dimes = remainingamount/10;
remainingamount -= Dimes * 10
int Nickels = remainingamount/5;
remainingamount -= Nickels * 5
int Pennies = remainingamount;

Since you're using Java, have you tried JSR 354?
See JavaMoney.org or the JSR 354 Detail page at JCP.org It offers standard API for the conversion of monetary units and default exchange rate providers by the IMF or European Central Bank.

compiles perfectly but i just want to know how to make unwated coins to not appear.
ie. user input: 9.65
so output would be:
4 toonies 1 loony 2 quarters 1 dimes 1 nickel
buy mine shows this:
You entered the amount 9 dollars and 65 cents.
To make up this amount, use
4 toonies 1 loony 2 quarters 6 dime 13 nickels 15 pennies
End of processing

System.out.println( +p+ " pennies\n");
System.out.println("End of processing");
}
}

Add if (n > 0) before printing "unnecessary" coins. I won't post code so that you can keep practising ;)
EDIT: big hint:
else if (cent <= NICKEL) {
if (n > 0)
System.out.println(n+" nickels");
}
EDIT2: There is a problem in your computation: let's suppose you have 65 cents (cent = 65):
d = cent/10; // 6
n = cent/5; // 13, when what you want is probably 1
You're forgetting to substract the amount previously counted in d: if you have 65 cents and decided to get 65 / 10 = 6 coins of 10 cents, the remainder is 5 cents. You should work on the remainders at each step.
Good luck!

Java - Assigning User Input to Variable / Change Counter

I'm quite new to java, although I have a fairly basic knowledge of C++.
For my assignment I am counting change and sorting it into American currency (i.e., if you had 105 cents, it would divide it into one dollar and one dime).
Logically I understand how to do this, but I'm having some serious trouble understanding the java syntax. I'm having serious trouble to find a way to assign a user-inputted value to a variable of my creation. In C++ you would simply use cin, but Java seems to be a lot more complicated in this regard.
Here is my code so far:
package coinCounter;
import KeyboardPackage.Keyboard;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class helloworld
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner input new Scanner(System.in);
//entire value of money, to be split into dollars, quarters, etc.
int money = input.nextInt();
int dollars = 0, quarters = 0, dimes = 0, nickels = 0;
//asks for the amount of money
System.out.println("Enter the amount of money in cents.");
//checking for dollars, and leaving the change
if(money >= 100)
{
dollars = money / 100;
money = money % 100;
}
//taking the remainder, and sorting it into dimes, nickels, and pennies
else if(money > 0)
{
quarters = money / 25;
money = money % 25;
dimes = money / 10;
money = money % 10;
nickels = money / 5;
money = money % 5;
}
//result
System.out.println("Dollars: " + dollars + ", Quarters: " + quarters + ", Dimes: " + dimes + ", Nickels: " + nickels + ", Pennies: " + money);
}
}
I would really appreciate some help with how to assign a user-input to my variable, Money. However, if you see another error in the code, feel free to point it out.
I know this is really basic stuff, so I appreciate all of your cooperation.

Change this line :
Scanner input new Scanner(System.in);
To :
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
And this should be after line below not before:
System.out.println("Enter the amount of money in cents.");
And as you did , the line below will read from input int value and assign it to your variable money :
int money = input.nextInt();

min change greedy algorithm in java

Ok so i need to make a program to ask me for an amount of money, then I need it to tell me the least amount of coins to make it. The coins I can use are: dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies. For example, When I run the program it's supposed to look like this:
> run Coins
Enter the amount of given money:
[1.73]
Give the seller 8 coins:
1 dollars,
2 quarters,
2 dime,
0 nickels,
3 pennies.
This is What I have so far:
import java.util.Scanner;
class Coins {
public static void main (String args[]) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
double money;
System.out.println("Enter the amount of money ");
money = input.nextDouble();
while (money > 0.0 ){
if (money >= 1) {
System.out.println(money/1+"dollars");
money -= 1;
}
else if (money>=.25) {
System.out.println(money/.25+"quarters");
money-=.25;
}
else if (money>=.10) {
System.out.println(money/.10+"Dimes");
money-=.10;
}
else if (money>=.05) {
System.out.println(money/.05+"Nickels");
money-=.05;
}
else if (money>=.01) {
System.out.println(money/.01+"Penny");
money-=.01;
}
}
}
}
The part I need help with is this: If I run the program and enter the amount 1.73, the way I have the code written, it takes the number 1.73, divides it by 1, and prints "1.73 dollars". I need a way to get rid of the decimal part so instead of printing "1.73 dollars", it prints "1 dollar". But I'm not sure how to do this. I tried converting it to an int but it messes up the flow of the other statements. Please help me.

You should use the combination of floor with casting to double, the following code works:
class Coins {
public static void main (String args[]) {
double money = 1.73;
while (money > 0.0 ){
if (money >= 1) {
System.out.println(Math.floor(money/1)+" dollars");
money -= Math.floor(money/1)*(double)1;
}
else if (money>=.25) {
System.out.println(Math.floor(money/.25)+" quarters");
money-=Math.floor(money/.25)*(double).25;
}
else if (money>=.10) {
System.out.println(Math.floor(money/.10)+" Dimes");
money-=Math.floor(money/.10)*(double).10;
}
else if (money>=.05) {
System.out.println(Math.floor(money/.05)+" Nickels");
money-=Math.floor(money/.05)*(double).05;
}
else if (money>=.01) {
System.out.println(Math.round(money/.01)+" Penny");
money-=Math.round(money/.01)*(double).01;
}
}
}
}
Another bug you had:
You should subtract Math.floor(money/XXX)*(double)XXX not (double)XXX

You need get rid of the remainder after the divisions. You can use Math.floor() for this:
class Coins {
public static void main (String args[]) {
double money = 1.73;
int dollars = (int) Math.floor(money/1);
money -= dollars * 1;
int quarters = (int) Math.floor(money/0.25);
money -= quarters * 0.25;
int dimes = (int) Math.floor(money/0.10);
money -= dimes * 0.10;
int nickels = (int) Math.floor(money/0.05);
money -= nickels * 0.05;
int pennies = (int) Math.round(money * 100);
System.out.println("Dollars: " + dollars);
System.out.println("Quarters: " + quarters);
System.out.println("Dimes: " + dimes);
System.out.println("Nickels: " + nickels);
System.out.println("Pennies: " + pennies);
}
}
Resulting in:
Dollars: 1
Quarters: 2
Dimes: 2
Nickels: 0
Pennies: 3

calculating interest on a certificate of deposit

I'm working on a program that will calculate the basic interest accrued on a certificate of deposit. The program asks for the amount of money invested and the term (up to five years). Depending on how many years their term is, is what determines how much interest is earned. I use an if/else statement to determine the rate of interest. I then use a loop to print out how much money is in the account at the end of each year. My problem is that when I run the program, the money is not counting.
Here is the entire code.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class CDCalc
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int Count = 0;
double Rate = 0;
double Total = 0;
Scanner userInput = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("How much money do you want to invest?");
int Invest = userInput.nextInt();
System.out.println("How many years will your term be?");
int Term = userInput.nextInt();
System.out.println("Investing: " + Invest);
System.out.println(" Term: " + Term);
if (Term <= 1)
{
Rate = .3;
}
else if (Term <= 2)
{
Rate = .45;
}
else if (Term <= 3)
{
Rate = .95;
}
else if (Term <= 4)
{
Rate = 1.5;
}
else if (Term <= 5)
{
Rate = 1.8;
}
int count = 1;
while(count <= 5)
{
Total = Invest + (Invest * (Rate) / (100.0));
System.out.println("Value after year " + count + ": " + Total);
count++;
}
}
}
and here is the result I get with a 10 dollar investment, just to keep it simple, and a 5 year investment.
How much money do you want to invest?
10
How many years will your term be?
5
Investing: 10
Term: 5
Value after year 1: 10.18
Value after year 2: 10.18
Value after year 3: 10.18
Value after year 4: 10.18
Value after year 5: 10.18
My main problem is I dont know how to make it continually add the intrest onto the total. I'm not sure if I need to use a different loop or what. Any help would be appreciated.

Total = Invest + (Invest * (Rate) / (100.0));
You are not changing the value of Invest for each year, so it is not compounding. It is like you are getting .18$ of interest each year, retired from the account.
Change Total for Invest.

You need to add the investment interest to your total:
Total = Invest;
int count = 1;
while(count <= 5)
{
Total = Total + (Invest * (Rate) / (100.0));
System.out.println("Value after year " + count + ": " + Total);
count++;
}
