This is my first Python program, a re-write of the code that I put together for CS1 a couple of years ago. I've been taking my old Java assignments and rewriting them in the different languages I'm trying to teach myself.
I wrote this on Pythonista on my iPhone as I walked to get a latte on break at work.
There's nothing ground-breaking here. Just me starting my baby-steps in Python.
# change maker
def main():
print "Calculates change from a dollar."
amount = input("Enter the amount less than one dollar.")
amount = 100 - amount
quarters = amount/25
amount = amount%25
dimes = amount/10
amount = amount%10
nickles = amount/5
amount = amount%5
print "the change due is " + str(quarters) + " quarters, " + str(dimes) + " dimes, " + str(nickles) + " nickles, and " + str(amount) + " pennies."
main()
