# Change
Correctly determine the fewest number of coins to be given to a customer such
that the sum of the coins' value would equal the correct amount of change.
## For example
- An input of 15 with [1, 5, 10, 25, 100] should return one nickel (5)
and one dime (10) or [0, 1, 1, 0, 0]
- An input of 40 with [1, 5, 10, 25, 100] should return one nickel (5)
and one dime (10) and one quarter (25) or [0, 1, 1, 1, 0]
## Edge cases
- Does your algorithm work for any given set of coins?
- Can you ask for negative change?
- Can you ask for a change value smaller than the smallest coin value?
## Running tests
Execute the tests with:
```bash
$ elixir change_test.exs
```
### Pending tests
In the test suites, all but the first test have been skipped.
Once you get a test passing, you can unskip the next one by
commenting out the relevant `@tag :pending` with a `#` symbol.
For example:
```elixir
# @tag :pending
test "shouting" do
assert Bob.hey("WATCH OUT!") == "Whoa, chill out!"
end
```
Or, you can enable all the tests by commenting out the
`ExUnit.configure` line in the test suite.
```elixir
# ExUnit.configure exclude: :pending, trace: true
```
