How do you write a java program in which the user will enter an amount of money as a decimal number and the program will compute how many pennies nickels dimes quarters ones fives tens twenties etc.?

Denomination values should be stored in an integer array where each value is in pennies. So $100 is 10000 pennies: const array<int,10> value = {10000, 5000, 2000, 500, 100, 50, 25, 10, 5, 1}; Create a parallel array with the actual denominations: const array<string,10> denomination = {"hundreds", "fifties", "twenties", "fives", "dollars", "half", "quarters", "dimes", "nickels", "cents"}; Start by multiplying the amount by 100 to determine the actual number of pennies. So $1.23 becomes 123 pennies. Store this value as an integer named pennies. Now work your way through the denominations in sequence: for (int index=0; index<value.size() && pennies; ++index) { int number=pennies/value[index]; if (number) cout<<number<<' '<<denomination[index]<<endl; pennies%=value[index]; }

Why is a section of the battery referred to as a lead-acid cell?

Alkaline batteries are named for their highly alkaline electrolyte solution which is potassium hydroxide (aka caustic potash, aka "traditional" lye) mixed with water. Lead-Acid batteries are similarly named in-part after their highly acidic electrolyte solution consisting of 35% sulfuric acid and 65% water.
