Define a function called exact_change that takes the total change amount in cents and calculates the change using the fewest coins. The coin types are pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. Then write a main program that reads the total change amount as an integer input, calls exact_change(), and outputs the change, one coin type per line. Use singular and plural coin names as appropriate, like 1 penny vs. 2 pennies. Output "no change" if the input is 0 or less.
I am having a difficult time with this, please I really need help
Define a function called exact_change that takes the total change amount in cents and calculates the change using the fewest coins. The coin types are pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. Then write a main program that reads the total change amount as an integer input, calls exact_change(), and outputs the change, one coin type per line. Use singular and plural coin names as appropriate, like 1 penny vs. 2 pennies. Output "no change" if the input is 0 or less.
Ex: If the input is:
0
(or less), the output is:
no change
Ex: If the input is:
45
the output is:
2 dimes 1 quarter
Your program must define and call the following function. The function exact_change() should return num_pennies, num_nickels, num_dimes, and num_quarters.
def exact_change(user_total)
