Problem Solving

Question: Write a program that accepts an integer input

from the user and display the least number of combinations
of 10s, 5s, and 1s.

Problem Solving

We start of by using START terminator.

Next we used the Preparation symbol to

declare our variables. We will be needing
three (3) variables for our computations.

The userValue variable will contain the

number entered by the user.

Problem Solving

The remainingValue variable will contain

the remaining values after they complete
the necessary computations.

The temp variable will contain the result

of the computations. This variable will
also be used to display the result to the
user per combination.

Problem Solving

Next we start our processing by

accepting an input by using the INPUT
Data symbol. We store the input to the
userValue variable.
Week 003: Problem Solving through Flowcharts 2

Problem Solving

Next we initialize our remaining value

variable with the value stored in the
userValue.

We do this to preserve the input from the

user.

Problem Solving

Next we check if the

remaining value is greater
than or equal to the largest
denomination,10.

We do this because we do
not need to display that we
do not have 10
denominations.
Week 003: Problem Solving through Flowcharts 2

Problem Solving

Now we get the number of

10’s in our remaining value
by dividing the
remaningValue variable by
10.

We store the quotient to the

temp variable.
Week 003: Problem Solving through Flowcharts 2

Problem Solving

Since we now know the

number of 10’s in the
remainingValue variable,
we need to determine the
remainder by subtracting
the remaining value and the
quotient, temp.

We store the
remainder/difference to our
remainingValue variable.
Week 003: Problem Solving through Flowcharts 2

Problem Solving

We display the quotient as

a concatenation of the
string “There are “ … “ 10’s”
through the variable temp.
Week 003: Problem Solving through Flowcharts 2

Problem Solving

Next we check if the

remaining value is greater
than or equal to the largest
denomination,5.

We do this because we do
not need to display that we
do not have 5
denominations.
Week 003: Problem Solving through Flowcharts 2

Problem Solving

Now we get the number of

5’s in our remaining value
by dividing the
remaningValue variable by
5.

We store the quotient to the

temp variable.
Week 003: Problem Solving through Flowcharts 2

Problem Solving

Since we now know the

number of 5’s in the
remainingValue variable,
we need to determine the
remainder by subtracting
the remaining value and the
quotient, temp.

We store the
remainder/difference to our
remainingValue variable.
Week 003: Problem Solving through Flowcharts 2

Problem Solving

We display the quotient as

a concatenation of the
string “There are “ … “ 5’s”
through the variable temp.
Week 003: Problem Solving through Flowcharts 2

Problem Solving

We will display the number

of 1’s we have through the
variable temp.

And lastly we will end our

computation using the END
terminator.
