Coin Test

BBC Coin Algorithm Test

DEVELOPER ASSESSMENT

Summary

Write a simple JavaScript application that given a number of pennies will calculate the minimum number of Sterling coins needed to make that amount.

Eg. 123p = 1 x £1, 1 x 20p, 1 x 2p, 1 x 1p

Lets make a page we can put on responsivenews.co.uk to tell people what its like to work here. Its just something we can point people to when we don't/in addition to a job ad. It annoys me that we don't have something like this.
