Program Problem

gregv21 (50)
I cant get this code to work when i dont put the zeros in for the int it gives random values and when i do put them in they come up as zero

so i want to know if i should use the zeros and if not what is the problem without them

    int Nickles = 000;

              Money = Money * 100;
              Money = Money1;
    cout << endl << endl << endl;
    if(Money1 >= 25){
              Quarters = (Money1/25);
              Money1   = Money1 - (25*Quarters)  ;
              }
    if(Money1 < 25 && Money1 >= 10){
              Dimes   = (Money1/10);
              Money1  = Money1 - (10 * Dimes);
              }
    if(Money1 < 10 && Money1 >= 5){
              Nickles   = (Money1/5);
              Money1  = Money1 - (5 * Nickles);
              }
    if(Money1 < 5 && Money1 >= 1){
              Pennies = Money1;
              }
    cout << " That is " << Quarters << " Quarters " << Dimes << " Dimes " << Nickles <<
     " Nickles " << Pennies << " Pennies " << endl;
    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
}

If you are talking about the initial values for Money1, Pennies, Nickles, Dimes, and Quarters--it is compiler based. It is best to always initialize your variables to a certain value or else the computer will give it some random value which could be whatever is stored in the memory at that location. To ensure you start with a clean slate giving your variables initial values is the surefire way to go.

I hope this answers your question.

i figured that out thank you for conferming it for me, but ther is still a problem with the program it returns all zeros



(running with Dev-C++ compiler)

Money = Money1;


You have these two variables backwards.
