4. Write a program that generates a random integer number between 1 and 1000 representing the amount of money the user has (in a fraction of a KD). The program passes the amount to a function coin_changer that calculates the minimum number of coins that the amount represents in 100, 50, 20, 10, and 5 files. The function then passes back the data to the main program which outputs the results. The function should not perform any I/O operations



Sample output
Enter the amount of money you have: 725 files.
The amount contains:
7 coins of 100 files.
0 coins of 50 files.
1 coins of 20 files.
0 coins of 10 files.
1 coins of 5 files.




wish you luck!!:)


hint( use division and modulus)

This is not a difficult task. I assume this is an assignment you've been given?

Yeah.. Modulus problem. :) Pretty easy logic for this one. :D

yeah .. i love how modulus works with divisions in c++:)

Suggestion to simplify coin_changer function:

1
2
3
4
5
hund = files / 100;
files = files - hund;
fift = files / 50;
files = files - fift;
....

Also there is no need to call coin_changer twice.

yeah,, but my instructor wants it like this...

he hates simplifying :`c

That doesn't sound like a very good instructor/teacher..
Oct 26, 2014 at 5:35am
I guess he wants to know if we really understand and to show him that we know what are we doing.?? Or just to make sure we're doing our work on our own ,,,
