2.19 Exercise 2.19

first-denomination, except-first-denomination, and no-more? are all primitive operations on lists:

(define (first-denomination coin-values)
  (car coin-values))
(define (except-first-denomination coin-values)
  (cdr coin-values))
(define (no-more? coin-values)
  (null? coin-values))

The order of the list coin-values does not affect the answer of cc:

(define (cc amount coin-values)
  (cond ((= amount 0) 1)
        ((or (< amount 0) (no-more? coin-values)) 0)
        (else
         (+ (cc amount
                (except-first-denomination coin-values))
            (cc (- amount
                   (first-denomination coin-values))
                coin-values)))))
> (define us-coins (list 50 25 10 5 1))
> (= (cc 100 us-coins) (cc 100 (reverse us-coins)))
