Hi, i am writing a function that takes in a sum of money as its only input argument and returns 10 values representing the minimum number of Australian notes/coin necessary to make the specified amount. In Australia, we use the following monetary denomination: 100, 50, 20, 10, 2, 1, .50, .20, .10, .05
I found that my code does not work when the result includes .10 and .05. (for example change(20.15))
debugging my code i found out that the logic result in matlab for an operation like (0.15-0.1)==0.05 is 0, how is that possible? i tried in octave and i got the same results. is there a way to fix it?
please find my code down below.
function [r] = change(v)
r=zeros(10,1);
M=[100,50,20,10,2,1,0.5,0.2,0.1,.05];
i=1;
while v>= M(10)
if v>=M(i)
v=v-M(i);
r(i)=r(i)+1;
else
i=i+1;
end
end
disp('bills needed');
for i = 1 : 10
if r(i)~= 0
disp([num2str(r(i)),' x ',num2str(M(i)),'AUD']);
end
end
Thanks in advance.
