# 11/6/17

# This file contains starter code for the following:
# Modify a previous program so that the user
# can use its code as many times as they wish.

CENTS_PER_QUARTER = 25 # a quarter is 25 cents
CENTS_PER_DIME = 10 # a dime is 10 cents
CENTS_PER_NICKEL = 5 # a nickel is 5 cents

# Set variable modification to repeat calculation if desired.
repeat = 'Y'

# The original program calculated the value of some coins.

while repeat == 'Y' or repeat == 'y':
    # get input
    print('We will convert coins to cents.')
    quarters = int(input('How many quarters? '))
    dimes = int(input('How many dimes? '))
    nickels = int(input('How many nickels? '))
    pennies = int(input('How many pennies? '))

    # process the input,
    # calculate the total value, in cents,
    # of the coins input by the user.
    cents = CENTS_PER_QUARTER * quarters \
            + CENTS_PER_DIME * dimes \
            + CENTS_PER_NICKEL * nickels \
            + pennies

    # display the original coin quantities
    # and the calculated value.
    print( quarters, 'quarters',
           dimes, 'dimes',
           nickels, 'nickels',
           pennies, 'pennies',
           'is', cents, 'cents.')

    repeat = input('Do you want to convert more coins? ' +
                   '(Enter y for yes): ')
