Problem with Vending Machine Program

[zolofy]

Please help me to complete the program..i already got stucked..thanks in advance..for information i'm using dev-cpp software

Assumptions:

1. The vending machine will use only coins of following denominations. 10 sen, 20 sen, and 50
sen.

2. The customer will make a selection for the item, and insert the coins only after selection. This
way, once the machine counts coins for amount exceeding the price of the item, the selected
item will be vended.

3. The machine will not accept more that RM 2.00.

4. At no point will the machine run out of coins to give change to the customer.

5. To save on the number of coins to be given as change, you will start from the highest 50 sen
to the lowest denomination (10 sen) while computing the denominations to be given as change

Global Variables:
REMINDER: You are not allowed to add global variable
1. Constant identifier that represents the index of drinks to be sold by the vending machine are
as follows:
gPrice and gDrinks.
const int ICE_LEMON_TEA = 0;
const int NESCAFE = 1;
const int HORLICK = 2;
const int TEA = 3;
2. Array that stores the price of Teh Tarik, Nescafe, Horlick and Teh 0 respectively.
float gPrice[4] = {1,1.1,1.2,.9};
3. Array that stores the number of cup sold for Teh Tarik, Nescafe, Horlick and Teh 0 repectively.
int gDrinks[4] = {0, 0, 0, 0};
4. Array that stores the nomination quantity of 10 sen, 20 sen and 50 sen dispensed to the
customer.
int gCoins[3] = {0, 0, 0};
5. Variable that stores the money received by the customer.
float gCash = 0;

Describe where you are stuck and what your thoughts are about why you are stuck.

[zolofy]

actually this is the upcomplete program, what i need is to develop process for get the money and get the balance, it actually have in the assumption taht i already gave

[nspils]

How do you think you can carry out these functions? What is the plan of attack ("algorithm") that you have in mind?
