Write a Java program
to make change when an item that costs less than a dollar is purchased and the
buyer gives the seller a one dollar bill.
The goal is to provide the buyer as few coins as possible in the change.
The program must determine how many
quarters, how many dimes, how many nickels, and how many pennies to
return. The ideal program would read in
the cost of the item purchased, but for now your program should just set the
cost of the item to be 22 cents.
You should start by
first developing the algorithm to accomplish this and then write a shell Java
program where each step of the algorithm is just expressed as a comment as was
done for the program in the text that computes the area of a circle. Once that is done you merely add the Java
code to accomplish each step of your algorithm.
