Answer 1

I can help you with python but I don't know what your question is, I see the assignment, what you have you tried so far and where did you getstuck?

there is something called the modulo operator, it looks like a percent %. What it does is division and returns the remainder.

so for example. 16.67%1 = .67, that would give us the dollars and we can subtract that from the total and we have 67 cents to deal with.

then we can do int(.67/.25) which would equal 2 (2 quarters) and use .67%.25 to find we have a remainder of 17 cents now.. and we just keep doing thattill we are left with pennies.

Answer 2

What language?

In javascript:

var makeChange = function(price, payment){
return Math.round((parseFloat(price-payment)) * 100) / 100;
};

alert(makeChange(100,50.50));
