I have modified the above method using a Multi-Dimensional Array. This way if
you need to add another monetary denomination, you just add it to the array
and the rest of the code should not need altering.
def money_breakup(amt)
notes=[ [50, 20, 10, 5],
[0, 0, 0, 0] ]
j = notes[0].length - 1
for i in notes[0]
notes[1][j] = amt / i
amt -= i * notes[1][j]
j -= 1
end
if amt != 0.0
puts "Error invalid amount - Remainder = #{amt.to_s} (Should be
0)"
end
return notes[1]
end
