Question

Write a JavaScript program to make change. You should use prompt() to read a string and parseInt() to convert the string into an integer number of cents (i.e. fractions of a dollar). Your program should write to the document how to deliver that number of cents as change using a minimum number of US coins as output. Ignore the 50 cent piece as a possible coin. So for example, given an input of 87, your program should output the following to the document:

87 cents is comprised of:

3 quarter(s)

1 dime(s)

0 nickle(s)

2 pennies

Hint: Remainders from division are calculated with the modulus operator.

Explanation / Answer

function addFields(form) {

var strCents = prompt("Number of cents: ", "Type number here");
var cents = parseInt(strCents);
var quarters = Math.floor(cents / 25);
var dimes = Math.floor((cents % 25) / 10);
var nickels = Math.floor(((cents % 25) % 10) / 5);
var pennies = cents % 5;
alert(cents + " cents is comprised of:
" + quarters + " quarter(s)
" + dimes + " dime(s)
" + nickels + " nickel(s)
" + pennies + " pennies
");

}
