Problem
You have a friend with a cause trying to raise $100K
(S)he needs a program to track donations and stop accepting donations when the goal is reached
(S)he would like the following information at the end:
Follow the problem solving steps to design a solution
Try simulating donations with a random number generator with values between $5 and $5000.
Solution
/* When your program doesn't have inputs, you should still find ways to test your code, perhaps by fixing certain values
Input: goal=100000, donations=-150, 150000 (negative donation)
Expected Output: total 149850
Actual:
Input: goal=150, donations=155 (example of single donation exceeding goal)
Expected Output: total, avg, min, max all equal 150, 1 donation
Actual:
Input: goal=150, donations = 75, 75 (two donations that equal exactly my goal)
Expected Output: total = 150, avg = 75, min, max = 75, 2 donations
Actual:
Input: goal=150, donations=150 (example of single donation exactly meeting my goal)
Expected Output: total, avg, min, max all equal 150, 1 donation
Actual:
Input: goal=0
Expected Output: program crashes
Actual:
