    Lightbulb No error, but I want criticism

    Please take a look at my application, either execute the class from console, or run .bat on windows.

    Virus Scan:

    Code:
    import static java.lang.System.out;
    import java.util.Scanner;
     
    class ChangeMaker {
     
    	public static void main(String args[]) {
    		Scanner inputNumber = new Scanner(System.in);
    		out.println("Enter amount of cents as a whole number:");
     
    		int total = inputNumber.nextInt();
     
    		int quarters = total / 25;
    		int extra = total % 25;
     
    		int dimes = extra / 10;
    		extra = extra % 10;
     
    		int nickels = extra / 5;
    		extra = extra % 5;
     
    		int pennies = extra;
     
    		out.println("From " + total + " cents, you get:");
            out.println(quarters + " quarters");
    		out.println(dimes + " dimes");
    		out.println(nickels + " nickels");
    		out.println(pennies + " pennies");
    	}
    }

    Posting links makes it hard for someone to find your code with a Search.

    No offense, but very few folks (myself included) will download and run an app when we have no idea what it does or what the code behind it contains. What exact feedback are you looking for? User interface layout? how it operates? Suggestions for developments?

    well, I'm not sure where to go next with it. You enter an int for amount of cents(I'm from USA), and it will tell you what coins make that amount. So, for $14.62, you would input 1462, and it will say how many quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies make it up. Once I develop it more, I plan on having a free and paid version for restaurants and stores.

    One change to the print out, don't print out 0 of a coin, just print when there are coins.

    Sorry to burst your bubble but anybody can write a simple program to make change. I don't think any restaurant would pay for something like that. If you make a whole POS system for restaurants with dynamic input and networking... then you may be able too.
