Question

Gosh! Finally finished problem set 2.
Here is my ps2b.py code.
Somehow it was more challenging than I expected.
I spent couple of days solving the problem.
Would appreciate your comments.

Answer 1

The only thing I would add is that you do not need to check each coefficient up to the number of nuggets.

For instance, if you were trying to buy 100 nuggets with 20 piece boxes. You do not need to try 20 * 100. Only up to 20 * 5. This will reduce the amount of calculations needed when there isn't a solution.
