In the make_change.py program, change the output to reflect the following:
  1. If there is exactly 1 quarter, dime, nickel, or penny, your output uses the singular for the coin
  2. If there is more than 1 quarter, dime, nickel, or penny, your output uses the plural for the coin
  3. If there are no quarters, dimes, nickels, or pennies, do not print that coin
  4. If a non-positive integer, or a non-integer, is entered, give the error message “bad input; must be a positive integer” and quit
  5. If there are two different types of coins, put an “and” between them
  6. If there are three or more types of coins, put a comma after each type of coin except the last, and put an “and” between the last two types of coins.
