A Bill Splitter Where Unit and Rounding Are Orthogonal (They Usually Aren't)
📰 Dev.to · SEN LLC
Learn to build a bill splitter where unit and rounding are orthogonal, improving fairness and accuracy in expense sharing
Action Steps
- Design a bill splitter algorithm that separates unit and rounding logic
- Implement a data structure to store individual expenses and their corresponding units
- Develop a rounding mechanism that operates independently of the unit system
- Test the bill splitter with various input scenarios to ensure orthogonality
- Refactor the code to improve performance and readability
