Question

I have the following assignment for Computer science class that is due tomorrow. Can someone help me to solve the code? I'm a beginner, so I don't have enough experience to solve the problem.
Write a program that determines the change to be dispensed from a vending machine. An item in the machine can cost between 25 cents and a dollar, in 5 cents increments (25,30,35,40,.......90,95 or 100), and the machine accepts only a single bill to pay for the item.

For example, a possible dialogue with the user might be

Enter the price of the item

(from 25 cents to a dollar, in 5-cent increment) : 45

You bought an item for 45 cents and gave me a dollar.

So your change is :

2 quarters

0 dimes, and

1 nickel.

Hello. I have a solution with comments to help you understand the code.
