int main(void)

    double dollars;
    int count;

    /* Get amount of money and make sure it's in range */

    dollars = (int) (dollars * 100) / 100.00;

    /* Determine amount of pennies */

Answer 1

Consider working with integers. They’re easier to work with, particularly when it comes to money.

double input_dollars;
// ...
long dollars = input_dollars * 100 + 0.5;  // in cents
