I have 2 arrays one of the types of numbers that will be used and the 2nd array is how many times that number can be used. I have a letter that determines what kind of method will be used I need to figure out how many times I can use a certain number from an array to determine a letter+number The ‘number’ is what I have to make with all the available numbers I can use. If the number cannot be made I would like to just say number cant be made or anything but allow the program to move on.
Here is what I have

C#

int[] picks = { 100, 50, 20, 10, 5, 1 };
            int[] times = { 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10 };
string choice = Console.ReadLine();
else if (choice.Equals("D")) {
Dispense(amt, billCounts);
}

What I have tried:

I have the numbers working to use the next number if the current one is all used up i have all that working fine the only thing i have left is to stop the choice if there is not enough available picks to make a certain number

Why have you tagged this with so many different languages? Use the one that the code will be written in. You also need to show the code that has the problem.
