Hi,

I am working on cash register solution at the moment. On the test section it says the below statement (please see below).

checkCashRegister(19.5, 20, [["PENNY", 0.01], ["NICKEL", 0], ["DIME", 0], ["QUARTER", 0], ["ONE", 1], ["FIVE", 0], ["TEN", 0], ["TWENTY", 0], ["ONE HUNDRED", 0]]) should return {status: "INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS", change: []} .

Change is 0.5 and cash drawer has a total amount of 1.01 why is the test saying insufficient funds. Am I reading this the wrong way around ?

How would you do it if it was physical coins/bills?

The numbers represent physical coins/bills and the code must obey the limitations. You can’t just take a coin or a bill and rip it in half to get half its value.

Makes sense. Thanks.
