Tell us what’s happening:
Hello everyone. I’ve managed to come this far entirely on my own without looking up a single answer, but I’m completely stuck on the final challenge, and it’s getting tough to not cheat and look up an answer and learn from it that way…
I know that the function should be counting the amount of times a certain dollar bill fits into the change that should be returned, and I know that the amount of times a certain dollar bill is allowed to be used depends on what is passed in with the cid. But how in god’s name do I manage this? There’s probably some way to do it with .map or .reduce but I’ve lost all sight of all possibilities. I’ve slept on this for a few days now and the urge to just cheat on this final one is overbearing.
Thank you so much for any possible hints.
**Your code so far**
