Edit: Ah, never mind. I feel silly. I just needed to convert amount into an integer.
I am having a little trouble figuring out how to assign a variable (dollars) to the numbers left of the decimal and how to assign a variable (cents) to the right of the decimal. The only parts of the code I can modify are those 2 assignment statements because it is a homework question. The user inputs something like 123.45

Thanks for any help....
