# Bill Splitter
|
|
|
|
> Python script to split bills equally
|
|
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
|
|
Imagine you go to a restaurant with four of your friends. The bill will be $105. You give $50 and others chip in $40, $10 and $5 and another friend dont have change so he didn't give. Bill should have been split $21 each way so now you need to calculate who owes howmuch to whom. This python script will solve this problem. The script takes contributions (individual share) to a bill and then gives who owes how much to whom with minimum number of transaction
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Run the script.py
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd bill_splitter
|
|
python script.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Enter the number of people among whom the bill is supposed to be split. eg: `2`
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Number of participants : 2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Enter the name of participant and his/her contribution to the bill separated by a space. eg: `John 50`
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Enter name and contribution of participant 1 :
|
|
John 50
|
|
Enter name and contribution of participant 2 :
|
|
Travis 100
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Output
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
John paid $50
|
|
Travis paid $100
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
Total pool amount : $150
|
|
Per head : $75.0
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
John should pay $25.0 to Travis
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Conclusion
|
|
|
|
The algorithm is designed in such a way that it will generate a result that has least number of transaction involved to achieve maximum efficiency.
