Creating a money changer

[krazykrisi]

I'm having trouble figuring this one out. Here is what I want to do:
Design and develop a program that will make change for a one-dollar bill on a sale of less than or equal to one dollar. The program interface should include a NumericUpDown control with a range from 1 cent to 100 cents, in which the user can enter the amount of the sale. The program should determine the number of half dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies to be returned to the customer. Develop the program logic to return as many half dollars as possible then as many quarters as possible and so on. After the change has been determined, the program should display the values in a message box. Use the string increment operator to build the output string.

Do i need to check every number, such as say the user enters 14 then it would display 1 dime and 4 pennies, but how does it know to display that without using a case statement? Would a case statement work?

this sounds an awful lot like homework

we use metric system, but here is what I think you can use (sorry if I am wrong )

Thanks, but I just used select case statements. It was a lot of typing and a lot of code but it works haha.

ManicCW's code does have one flaw: there's quarters, dimes and pennies but no nickels

 

[ManicCW]

that is because i don't know your money units
