Re: Random Coins
It works very well! Very nice page to practice making change. Are you planning to make one allowing different combinations other then $1?

Re: Random Coins
Hi MIF;
Working okay over here. Good work.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: Random Coins
What would be another good target apart from $1?
Also anyone get all the possible ways?

Re: Random Coins
I wrote a small program that gets them all for any set of coins. Doing it the hard way? Nope!

I don't think so!
