VendingMachine Help

Question

I took a JAVA class about two years ago and my brother came to me with this problem. It has been so long since I used JAVA. Maybe someone can help debug this code. Honestly I would like the answer but I would be sure not to just give him the answer without him trying some more. Thank you.
public class VendingMachineDriver {
public static void main(String args[]) {
VendingMachine v = new VendingMachine();
v.setPrice(27);
v.insertMoney(75);
v.printReceipt();
v.setPrice(173);
v.insertMoney(75);
v.insertMoney(50);
v.insertMoney(200);
System.out.println("Price = " + v.getPrice());
System.out.println("Money paid = " + v.getMoneyPaid());
System.out.println();
v.setPrice(451);
v.insertMoney(200);
v.insertMoney(600);
v.cancelPurchase();
v.setPrice(267);
v.insertMoney(120);
v.insertMoney(650);
v.printReceipt();
System.out.println("Total collected = " + v.getTotalCollected());
System.out.println();
Next is the file I've made from scratch....had those comments in there telling where to put stuff when I started it...
* Write a description of class VendingMachine here.
* @author (your name)
* @version (a version number or a date)
public class VendingMachine {
// instance variables - replace the example below with your own
private int price;
private int paid;
private int total;
* Constructor for objects of class VendingMachine
public VendingMachine() {
// initialise instance variables
price = 0;
paid = 0;
total = 0;
public VendingMachine(int priceOfItem, int amountPaid) {
price = priceOfItem;
paid = amountPaid;
total = 0;
* An example of a method - replace this comment with your own
* @param y a sample parameter for a method
* @return the sum of x and y
public void setPrice(int amount) {
price = amount;
public void insertMoney(int amount) {
paid = paid + amount;
public int getPrice() {
return price;
public int getMoneyPaid() {
return paid;
public int getTotalCollected() {
return total;
public void reset() {
price = 0;
paid = 0;
total = 0;
public void cancelPurchase() {
int cancelPurchase;
/** I think his problem is here. Does he need to initialize these
** new objects (quaters, dimes, etc.)?
public void printReceipt() {
paid();
price();
total = paid - price;
quarters = total / 25;
total = total % 25;
dimes = total / 10;
total = total % 10;
nickels = total / 5;
total = total % 5
pennies = total;
}

Answer 1

No really. It is not for me. I took the class, but I only took it because I had to. I was more interested in C++ and VB. Now he really is taking a class himself. He will probably post the question himself.
JustLee-
Would he have to declare them in the printReceipt function or as a global variable in the Main function? In VB I could do either, but I cannot remember if you can do that in JAVA.
Does this look correct?
public void printReceipt(quaters as integer, dimes as interger, ....)
Thank you for you input. Sorry it looked like I was a kid trying to cheat.
