Overview
For this assignment, you will write a program to keep track of a Coin Collection.

Problem Description
 

•
•Problem statement
Saving nickels and pennies and want to exchange these coins at the bank so need to know the value of coins in dollars and cents.
•Analysis
–Need to count of nickels and pennies separately
–Determine total value in cents
–Use integer division by 100 to calculate dollars
–Use modulus (%) to get remaining cents
•Problem input
–        string name
–    integer nickels
–    integer pennies
•Problem output
–    integer dollars
–    integer change
•Additional program variables
–    integer totalCents
•One dollar equals 100 pennies
•One nickel equals 5 pennies
Algorithm:
1. Read in your niece’s first name
2. Read in the count of nickels and pennies
3. Compute the total value in cents
    3.1 totalCents is 5 times nickels plus pennies
4. Find the value in dollars and loose change.
    4.1 dollars is integer quotient of totalCents and 100
    4.2 change is integer remainer of totalCents and 100
5. Display the value in dollars and loose change.

Sample Execution:

Enter your first name: Sally
Enter the number of nickels: 30
Enter the number of pennies: 77
Good work Sally!
Your collection is worth 2 dollars and 27 cents.

When you are done with the program, print it out and hand it in.
