**Okay i have a problem that i am not able to sort out for couple of days now. I dont know why the code is not doing what it supposed to do.
Basically I have written this code for a vending machine. Things i want in a vending machine
- press different numbers for different products.
- should show a list of products inside the machine.
- show the quantity of a product.
- show the price of a product.
- get item from the list.
- reduce the quantity of an item after the selection of that item.
if possible - >
7. calculate the number of coins to be inserted.
Things i managed to get working are the first 6 features. I partially got the 7th feature working but some how it fails to return the desired result when the total number of coins are inserted that sums up the cost of the product. It returns a memory location istead of the displaying the correct output. I am attaching the full codes please help me figure out what the problem is. Thanks!**
