+Cash Register Project
+Completed: 09/06/2021
+
+
+This project is used to find the coins that would be needed to give a certain amount of change. It takes a text file as input that should contain a list of values.
+Each line in the text file should contain 2 numbers separated by a comma. The first number is the price of something that is being payed for. The second number is the amount
+of money that the customer payed with. The program takes these numbers and returns the change that should be given back to the customers in dollars and coins. It normally
+gives change in the least possible number of coins, except when the total change in cents is divisible by three. In this case, the different denominations of change given
+is randomized while still adding up to the correct amount of change. If any lines in the input file are formatted incorrectly, they will be skipped, and the user will be
+notified of the incorrectly formatted lines. The test python file contains unit tests to make sure the calculate change method works correctly for a range of values.
+
+Files: Cash_Register.py, calculate_change.py, calculate_change_test.py
+
+Cash_Register.py: This is the file that contains the main and is used to the run the applicaiton.
+calculate_change.py: Contains a method that calculates the change and is called by Cash_Register.py
+calculate_change_test.py: Contains a few unit tests to test the functionality of calculate_change.py
+
+Running the application: Type the following command in the terminal
+python Cash_Register.py [filename]
+Example: python Cash_Register.py input.txt
+
+Example Input:
+1.33, 2.00
+2.71,4.00
+1.45,%4.00^
+1.50
+
+Example Output:
+2 quarters, 1 dime, 1 nickel, 2 pennies
+3 quarters, 1 dime, 1 nickel, 39 pennies
+Line 3 of input.txt must contain 2 numbers separated by a comma.
+Line 4 of input.txt must contain 2 numbers separated by a comma.
+
+Modules: random, numpy, sys
+
+Known Bugs: There are currently no known bugs contained in this project.
