## Description
<section id='description'>
In England the currency is made up of pound, £, and pence, p, and there are eight coins in general circulation:
<div style='margin-left: 4em;'>1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 (100p) and £2 (200p).</div>
It is possible to make £2 in the following way:
<div style='margin-left: 4em;'>1×£1 + 1×50p + 2×20p + 1×5p + 1×2p + 3×1p</div>
How many different ways can `n` pence be made using any number of coins?

- text: <code>coinSums(50)</code> should return 451.
testString: assert(coinSums(50) == 451);
- text: <code>coinSums(100)</code> should return 4563.
testString: assert(coinSums(100) == 4563);

## Solution

```js
const coinSums = (n) => {
const getWays = (n, m=8, c=[1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200]) => {
if (n === 0) return 1;
if (m === 0 || n < 0) return 0;
return getWays(n - c[m - 1], m, c) + getWays(n, m - 1, c);
};
return getWays(n);
};
