amateur in computer science any idea how to go about solving this?

 

Part A – Implement a change maker program.  This program will calculate the correct change from a dollar for the purchase of an item that costs between 0 and 100 cents.  The amount of change must be optimal in that you should make maximum use of the largest available coins

 

Example Scenarios:

 

How much is your item (in cents)?  >> 65

Your change is:  1 quarter, 1 dime, 0 nickels, and 0 pennies

 

How much is your item (in cents)?  >> 43 cents

Your change is:  2 quarter, 0 dime, 1 nickels, and 2 pennies

 

 

Part B – Write a program that prompts for an input string of variable length.  Once input, your program will do the following:

  • Output the length of the string
  • Output the first and last characters of the string
  • Output the middle character of the string (and its position)
  • Transpose (switch) the two halves; 2nd half starts with the middle character.
  • Print the string out in all upper case characters

 

Example Sessions:

 

      Please input a string :>> Firewall

 

            Program Output:

String length is: 8

            First char is: F

            Last char is: l

            Middle char at position 4 is:  w

            Transpose:  wallFire   

Upper Case:  FIREWALL

 

 

 

 

Please input a string :>> Program

           

            Program Output:

String length is: 7

            First char is: P

            Last char is: m

            Middle char at position 3 is:  g

            Transpose:  gramPro  

Upper Case: PROGRAM

 

Note that your program needs to correctly calculate and output all the items listed.  It should also be able to handle any string that is input during testing—not just the examples presented here.  You may assume the string will have at least two (2) characters.
