Cash: Fewest Coins

Give change with as few U.S. coins as possible.

Problem

A cashier gives change using quarters (25¢), dimes (10¢), nickels (5¢) and pennies (1¢). Always using the largest coin that still fits gives the fewest coins for these values. Return how many coins are needed for cents.

Implement fewest_coins(cents).

Input

cents: The change owed in cents.

Output

Return the minimum number of coins.

Constraints

0 ≤ cents ≤ 1,000,000

Examples

Example 1
Input:
cents = 41

Expected output:
expected = 4
Input:
long long cents = 41;

Expected output:
long long expected = 4;
Input:
long cents = 41;

Expected output:
long expected = 4;

Explanation

One quarter (25), one dime (35), one nickel (40) and one penny (41): 4 coins.

Example 2
Input:
cents = 0

Expected output:
expected = 0
Input:
long long cents = 0;

Expected output:
long long expected = 0;
Input:
long cents = 0;

Expected output:
long expected = 0;

Explanation

No change is owed: 0 coins.
