Hi,
The problem is:
Given an amount of money m, and unlimited coins of value 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p,
20p, 50p, £1 and £2
List ALL (distinct) ways of change for m, using no greater than k coins
eg: m = 75, k = 5
=> [50, 20, 5]
[50, 20, 1,2,2]
..........
.........
i have been familiar with the "integer parition" problem, but how to
generalise to solve the one above ?
Is this problem suitable for functional programming language ?
Any idea ?
Cheers
