Python Program for Coin Change

Given a value N, if we want to make change for N cents, and we have infinite supply of each of S = { S1, S2, .. , Sm} valued coins, how many ways can we make the change? The order of coins doesn\’t matter.

For example, for N = 4 and S = {1,2,3}, there are four solutions: {1,1,1,1},{1,1,2},{2,2},{1,3}. So output should be 4. For N = 10 and S = {2, 5, 3, 6}, there are five solutions: {2,2,2,2,2}, {2,2,3,3}, {2,2,6}, {2,3,5} and {5,5}. So the output should be 5.

Python

# Dynamic Programming Python implementation of Coin 
# Change problem
def count(S, m, n):
    # We need n+1 rows as the table is constructed 
    # in bottom up manner using the base case 0 value
    # case (n = 0)
    table = [[0 for x in range(m)] for x in range(n+1)]
 
    # Fill the entries for 0 value case (n = 0)
    for i in range(m):
        table[0][i] = 1
 
    # Fill rest of the table entries in bottom up manner
    for i in range(1, n+1):
        for j in range(m):
 
            # Count of solutions including S[j]
            x = table[i - S[j]][j] if i-S[j] >= 0 else 0
 
            # Count of solutions excluding S[j]
            y = table[i][j-1] if j >= 1 else 0
 
            # total count
            table[i][j] = x + y
 
    return table[n][m-1]
 
# Driver program to test above function
arr = [1, 2, 3]
m = len(arr)
n = 4
print(count(arr, m, n))
