Why are you using pennies?

[tbl99]

that's what my question said..

[dhayden]

The loop at line 17 will never exit. What is its purpose? Right now the loop at line 19 will run for the some number of days, then the loop at line 17 will run and do it all over again.

At line 19, days is uninitialized. How many days should the loop run for?

Line 22. This says that the pay doubles every day. Is that your intention?

Line 24 converts the pennies to dollars, but it doesn't accumulate the total from the previous days. I think you want to initialize total to 0 at line 14 and then line 24 should add pennies*0.01 to total.
