That's not a problem; it's an incomplete piece of code. (We have no idea 
what tempEntry is, for example)

A problem might be "it produces the value 8 when I expected it to 
produce the value 5", or "it raises the following exception ..." with a 
complete copy-paste of the exception.

I think you're trying to say something with "the dollars value takes the 
time values place", but what that means, I have no idea.

For advice on how to write questions which are more likely to get a 
helpful answer, read
