I have finished an entire program but there is one small problem with a bit of error trapping.
while((((payment/.01)-(floor(payment/.01)))>0.0) || (payment<0.0))
{
printf("You can't pay with fractions of one cent! You can't pay with negative amounts! Please type in your payment ");
scanf("%f", &payment);
}In this little bit of code it is supposed to not accept negative values and values past 2 decimal places -- which is what it almost does EXCEPT the loop picks up 4.23 and 4.26 as unacceptable values also and I can't understand why! (might be more but I have only found those)
My entire program looks loke this. The problem arises whenever I have a while loop that looks like this: while((((payment/.01)-(floor(payment/.01)))>0.0) || (payment<0.0))
Another bit of information, if it helps- I am using the miracle c compiler.
#include<stdio.h>

float difference;

scanf("%f",&numberofitems);
while((numberofitems<0.0) || (numberofitems!=floor(numberofitems)))
{
printf("You can't buy less than nothing! You can't buy fractional amounts! Please type in the number of items you would like to purchase. ");
scanf("%f",&numberofitems);
}
