If usually starts with headers, then int main() . Then there's an input of some kind.
Then you get some if statements with some math intermixed, maybe even a loop or three, and finally some output statements.

I just asked my second grader (going to be in 3rd in Fall) how they would make change!
So you just bought something for 59 cents and handed the cashier a dollar, so 41 cents change.
41 cents
-25 quarter
16 (no more quarter, next size dime
-10 dime
6 (dime too big, try nickel)
-5 nickel
1 (nickel too big, try penny)
-1 penny
0 done!
Let's say no quarters in the drawer
41 cents
- 10 dime
31
-10 dime
21
-10 dime
11
-10 dime
1
nickel too big
-1 penny
0
done
*** So do it exactly that same way in code ***
