  1. The demoninations are not guaranteed to contain a penny, as this might be for Japanese Yen, which do not use fractional currency (smallest unit is 1 Yen). Fortunately, you are not required to give "change" for these trifling units smaller than the smallest "coin" or "bill".
  2. 2,250 may add up to $22.50, but it is not a valid solution. You would get this if you fed the currency into the function backwards, though. As ZZamboni points out, proceed in order from largest to smallest and all will be well.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
