Homework Statement
How many different ways can £2 be made using any number of coins?
(In other words, how many ways can you obtain the sum of 200 with terms from the following finite set - 200, 100, 50, 20, 10, 5, 2, 1. Order does not matter.)
Homework Equations
None?
The Attempt at a Solution
No idea.
I've been mulling over this problem for way too much time now without producing anything viable.
A PnP solution is beyond me at this point. On the computational side I've been thinking of a recursive solution which should spawn this massive recursion tree and I'm pretty sure there's got to be a better method out there.
