Question
Please help with the following coding question!
Edit the program to add the functionality of
– reporting the maximum number of heads and tails in a row.
– determining which is longer.
Edit the main() function to use a while loop and switch statements instead of a for loop and if else statements.
Source Codes in text:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
char coins [100];
int main(int argc, char** argv) { //main function
int heads = 0; //counter for heads
int tails = 0; //counter for tails
int count; //keep track of the rounds
bool coinFlip; //coin value at each round
for (count = 0; count < 100; count++) {
coinFlip = rand() % 2; //get a random number and make it a 1 or 0;
if (coinFlip) {
coins[count] = 'H'; //Assign nth spot in array as 'H'
tails++;
}
else {
coins[count] = 'T'; //Assign nth spot in array as 'T'
heads = heads + 1;
printf("Value at entry %i: %c ", count+1, coins[count]);
//this is a print statement that prints each entry in the array
//on a new line. We use formatting such as %i and %c to prevent
//the use of a broken string with '+' in them. The %i means to format the
//the entry as an integer, %c is to be formatted as a char.
}
printf("There are %i heads and %i tails", heads, tails); //tell us how many of each coin face we got
return (EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
