The End is in Sight!!!!

After some discussion and experimentation to prove the argument my team and I feel that we have completed our goal on bug #4 and that what I originally perceived to be an associated bug really wasn’t.  Since the Lemonade Stand wiki really didn’t have documentation as to the rules of the game (before we corrected that at the beginning of this project) there was no indication of what currency combination was expected.  We feel that (as in real life transactions) it is acceptable to break the 2 smallest denominations when necessary.  Nathaniel wrote this code to keep players from using something like: Pennies: 200 instead of Dollars: 2. Since his code is focused on the dollars, quarters and dimes first; he intended the ability to exchange 5 pennies for a nickel or 2 nickels for a dime in certain circumstances.  With that in mind, we decided to further explain this on the Lemonade Stand wiki so the player will understand the process.

With that completed, we are now discussing ideas for our last bug (although I don’t see the time to work on it before Friday) and we plan to finish that one before Monday.  We also have discussed ideas on our presentation for this and also our game plan of submitting all our fixes to Lemonade Stand sometime next week.  For now…back to the code.
