Example: Making change
Problem:
Write a program that makes change, i.e. given a number of cents of change to make it will say what coins to use (using as few coins as possible). This was the first lab I ever did as a computer science student (it was slightly less complicated because we could use pennies)! A sample run might look like:
How much change do you have to make (in cents)? 197
195 cents can be made using:
0 toonies
1 loonies
3 quarters
2 dimes
0 nickels
