• java - looping 2d array find index of value not working 2 answers

i'm learning java atm , , had write code calculate monetary units, , display nonzero denominations using singular words single units , plural words plural units.

this code far:

import java.util.scanner;  public class computechange {     public static void main(string[] args) {          scanner input = new scanner(system. in );         // receive amount         system.out.println("enter amount in double, example 11.56: ");          double amount = input.nextdouble();          int remainingamount = (int)(amount * 100);          // find number of 1 dollars         int numberofdollars = remainingamount / 100;         remainingamount = remainingamount % 100;          // find number of quarters in remaing amount         int numberofquarters = remainingamount / 25;         remainingamount = remainingamount % 25;          //find number of dimes in remaing amount         int numberofdimes = remainingamount / 10;         remainingamount = remainingamount % 10;          //find number of nickels in remaing amount          int numberofnickles = remainingamount / 5;         remainingamount = remainingamount % 5;          //find number of pennies in remaining amount         int numberofpennies = remainingamount;          //display results         system.out.println("your amount" + amount + "consists of");          if (numberofdollars > 1) {             system.out.println(" " + numberofdollars + "dollars");         } else if (numberofdollars == 1); {             system.out.println(" " + numberofdollars + "dollar");         } 

the output is: run:

enter amount in double, example 11.56:  12,33 amount12.33consists of  12dollars  12dollar  1quarters  1quarter  0dimes  0dime  1nickles  1nickle  3pennies  3penny 

why printed double? 3 == not 1 why still 3 penny? noob question maybe, thats because 1 :) help!

because added random ; after second if. therefor second system.out.println not part of if-statement. remove it:

if (numberofdollars > 1) {     system.out.println (" " + numberofdollars + "dollars"); } else if (numberofdollars == 1) {     system.out.println (" " + numberofdollars + "dollar"); }
