Hash Tables: Ice Cream Parlor
Problem Statement :
Each time Sunny and Johnny take a trip to the Ice Cream Parlor, they pool their money to buy ice cream. On any given day, the parlor offers a line of flavors. Each flavor has a cost associated with it. Given the value of money and the cost of each flavor for trips to the Ice Cream Parlor, help Sunny and Johnny choose two distinct flavors such that they spend their entire pool of money during each visit. ID numbers are the 1- based index number associated with a cost. For each trip to the parlor, print the ID numbers for the two types of ice cream that Sunny and Johnny purchase as two space-separated integers on a new line. You must print the smaller ID first and the larger ID second. Note: Two ice creams having unique IDs and may have the same cost (i.e. cost[ i ] = cost[ j ] ). There will always be a unique solution. Function Description Complete the function whatFlavors in the editor below. It must determine the two flavors they will purchase and print them as two space-separated integers on a line. whatFlavors has the following parameter(s): cost: an array of integers representing price for a flavor money: an integer representing the amount of money they have to spend Input Format The first line contains an integer, t , the number of trips to the ice cream parlor. Each of the next t sets of 3 lines is as follows: The first line contains money. The second line contains an integer, n, the size of the array cost. The third line contains n space-separated integers denoting the cost[ i ]. Output Format Print two space-separated integers denoting the respective indices for the two distinct flavors they choose to purchase in ascending order. Recall that each ice cream flavor has a unique ID number in the inclusive range from 1 to cost. Sample Input 2 4 5 1 4 5 3 2 4 4 2 2 4 3 Sample Output 1 4 1 2

scanf("%d", &t);
for (int trip = 0; trip < t; trip++) {

//printf("Enter amount of dollars:\n");
scanf("%d", &m);
int n;
//printf("Enter number of flavors:\n");
scanf("%d", &n);
int cost[n];
for (int id = 0; id < n; id++) {
//printf("Enter the cost of flavor %d", id);
scanf("%d", &cost[id]);
}
int total = 0;
for (int cost1 = 0; cost1 < n; cost1++) {
for (int cost2 = cost1 + 1; cost2 < n; cost2++) {
