Write a program to open a particular file (/home/36/lallip/public/ica1.txt). This file contains a number of lines consisting of a number of cents. One cent amount is on each line. Read all the cent amounts from the file

Print to standard output the number of values in the file, and what those values are.

Take the first value from the file, convert it to dollars (ie, divide it by 100), and print out the number of dollars this figure represents - including the dollar sign

Sample Input

The file /home/36/lallip/public/ica1.txt might contain the following data:

543
981
97
13301

There are 5 values in the file: 543, 981, 97, 13301, 8743
The first dollar value is: $5.43
