CYB-130 8.26 LAB: Exact Change - Functions

The document describes a Python program that takes a total change amount as input and outputs the minimum number of coins needed to make that change. It defines a function called "exact_change" that calculates the amounts of dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, and a main function that gets user input, calls exact_change, and prints the results in a readable format.

8.26 LAB: Exact change - functions


Write a program with total change amount as an integer input that outputs the
change using the fewest coins, one coin type per line. The coin types are
dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies. Use singular and plural coin
names as appropriate, like 1 penny vs. 2 pennies.
def exact_change(user_total):

dollars = user_total // 100

user_total %= 100

quarters = user_total // 25

user_total %= 25

dimes = user_total // 10

user_total %= 10

nickels = user_total // 5

user_total %= 5

pennies = user_total

return dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels, pennies

def main():

total = int(input())

if total <= 0:

print('no change')

else:

dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels, pennies = exact_change(total)

if dollars > 1:

print('%d dollars' % dollars)

elif dollars == 1:

print('%d dollar' % dollars)


if quarters > 1:

print('%d quarters' % quarters)

elif quarters == 1:

print('%d quarter' % quarters)

if dimes > 1:

print('%d dimes' % dimes)

elif dimes == 1:

print('%d dime' % dimes)

if nickels > 1:

print('%d nickels' % nickels)

elif nickels == 1:

print('%d nickel' % nickels)

if pennies > 1:

print('%d pennies' % pennies)

elif pennies == 1:

print('%d penny' % pennies)

if __name__ == '__main__':

main()
