So I have Been working on a Program and it has been awhile since I have last used java. I was wondering how to get my program to accept decimals. I have tried looking it up but I couldn't find anything helpful and anything I really understood.Below is what I have done so far...
package test;
import java.util.Scanner;
/**

*/
public class Test {
/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO code application logic here
// create Scanner to obtain input from command window
Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );
double cash; // double makes it allow decimals
int hundred;
int twenty;
int ten;
int toonies ;
int lonies;
int quarters;
int dimes;
int nickels;
int pennies;
int money;
int change;
System.out.println();// blank line
System.out.print("Hello ");
System.out.println();
System.out.println("Please enter a number with no decimal places ");
cash = input.nextInt(); // read first integer
System.out.println("you have Entered "+cash);
hundred = 100;
change = (int)hundred - (int)cash;
System.out.println("The change from $100.00 is:" + (double)change);
change = 100 * change; // multiply cash by 100
money = (int)change; //cash is now a int
twenty = money / 2000;
money = money - (twenty * 2000);
toonies = money / 200; // money is multiplied by 100 than / by 200
money = money - (toonies * 200); // ex. money = 1586 - (7.93 * 200 )
lonies = money / 100 ;
money = money - (lonies * 100);
quarters = money / 25;
money = money - (quarters * 25);
dimes = money / 10;
money = money - (dimes * 10);
nickels = money / 5;
money = money - (nickels * 5);
pennies = money / 1;
money = money - (pennies * 1);
if(twenty>0){
System.out.println();
System.out.print("You will have this many Twenties ");
System.out.print(twenty + ".");
}
else{
}
if(toonies>0){
System.out.println();
System.out.print("You will have this many Toonies ");
System.out.print(toonies + ".");
System.out.println();
}
else{
}
if(lonies>0){
System.out.print(" You will have this many Lonies ");
System.out.print(lonies + ".");
System.out.println();
}
else{
}
if(quarters>0){
System.out.print(" You will have this many quarters ");
System.out.print(quarters + ".");
System.out.println();
}
else{
}
if(dimes>0){
System.out.print(" You will have this many dimes ");
System.out.print(dimes + ".");
System.out.println();
}
else{
}
if(dimes>0){
System.out.print(" You will have this many nickels ");
System.out.print(nickels);
System.out.println();
}
else{
}
if(pennies>0){
System.out.print(" You will have this many pennies ");
System.out.print(pennies);
System.out.println();
}
else{
}
System.out.println();
System.out.println("Thank you for using my app ");
}
}

You can use double or float for the variable's data type. To read a double from your input you would do:
double cash = input.nextDouble();
or
float cash = input.nextFloat();
