It only works with certain numbers and I’m not sure why. for example the number 69 works but the number 42 doesn’t
#Variables
quarter = 25
dime = 10
nickel = 5
penny = 1
money = 0
#Ask user for input
money = int(input("How much change do you need to make?"))
#Get the floor of the money to find how many coins you need and get the remainder and use it as the new amount of money for the next type of coin
change_quarter = money // quarter
change_quarter_remainder = money % quarter
change_dime = change_quarter_remainder // dime
change_dime_remainder = money % dime
change_nickel = change_dime_remainder // nickel
change_nickel_remainder = money % nickel
change_penny = change_nickel_remainder // penny
change_penny_remainder = money % penny
#Print to the user
print(change quarter, "quarter(s)", change dime, "dime(s)", change nickel, "nickel(s)", change penny, "pennie(s)")
>Solution :
Your variables with _remainder are redundant.
change_quarter = money // quarter
money = money % quarter
change_dime = money // dime
money = money % dime
change_nickel = money // nickel
money = money % nickel
change_penny = money
Your solution with fix to make it clearer.
change_quarter = money // quarter
change_quarter_remainder = money % quarter
change_dime = change_quarter_remainder // dime
change_dime_remainder = change_quarter_remainder % dime
change_nickel = change_dime_remainder // nickel
change_nickel_remainder = change_dime_remainder % nickel
change_penny = change_nickel_remainder // penny
change_penny_remainder = change_nickel_remainder % penny
