Need someone to help me write a program Posted: Jul 1, 2004 12:40 PM

<p>Hello, I am new to programming and Python. I am trying to write a program to let me see if there is a way to garentee my bets in a game. So far I have the input and some caclulation portions coded but I am getting stuck on the part where the program adds 1 to the "coin value" to keep on looking for that perfect combination of coins.<br><br>

I would love it if you had AIM or MSN messenger. It is an open source program (though I doubt anyone but me would want to use it) so I don't have any problems with showing you what I have already done. Here is what I have so far:<br><br>

#inputs number of coins to occupy each value slot<br>
coin1 = input("Number of coins in 72x slots: ")<br>
coin2 = input("Number of coins in 36x slots: ")<br>
coin3 = input("Number of coins in 21x slots: ")<br>
coin4 = input("Number of coins in 14x slots: ")<br>
coin5 = input("Number of coins in 10x slots: ")<br>
coin6 = input("Number of coins in 8x slots: ")
<br><br>
#modifies coin count so you don't have to account for the 2 slots for each value
c1 = coin1 * 2<br>
c2 = coin2 * 2<br>
c3 = coin3 * 2<br>
c4 = coin4 * 2<br>
c5 = coin5 * 2<br>
c6 = coin6 * 4
<br><br>
#adds all the coins used together<br>
sum = 2 + c1 + c2 + c3 + c4 + c5 + c6
<br><br>
#figures out how much money is spent<br>
money = sum * 100
<br><br>
#calculates the minimum ammont of money you will make on a bet<br>
min = coin6 * 800
<br><br>
While min <= money<br>
coin6 = coin6 + 1
<br><br>
My AIM SN is Kingdud5<br>
My MSN e-mail is Kingdud5@hotmail.com
<br><br>
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
<br><br>
Peace out,
<br><br>
-Kingdud</p>
