Exact Change

Issue Description This test checkCashRegister(19.50, 20.00, [["PENNY", 0.01], ["NICKEL", 0], ["DIME", 0], ["QUARTER", 0], ["ONE", 1.00], ["FIVE", 0], ["TEN", 0], ["TWENTY", 0], ["ONE HUNDRED", 0]]) should return "Insufficient Funds". is a fail. The test in the description says …

Return the string “Insufficient Funds” if cash-in-drawer is less than the change due.

The change in the register is $1.01 and the change needed is $0.50, therefore there is enough change in the register. The problem is there are not the correct denominations to give exact change.

@jonataswalker, it’s possible that because the current status of https://freecodecamp.com doesn’t reflect the staging branch, the change hasn’t been pushed to production yet. Hopefully we will have this up shortly 😃

So it looks like the test is written so it will return insufficient funds for this case so in essence, it’s the instructions that need to be changed from:

Return the string “Insufficient Funds” if cash-in-drawer is less than the change due.

to:

Return the string “Insufficient Funds” if cash-in-drawer is less than the change due or the denominations in the drawer do not allow the correct change to be given.

Is that correct?
