I am taking a beginners class in C and am attempting to write code for
extra problems my instructor gave us. These are not for grade and are
only used solely for practice. I have a hard time taking pseudocode
and turning it into code. Since I am in a beginners class, we have
only learned so much to date, so what I am presenting will be really
rough, so please pardon my ignorance.
Here are my instructions, with my code to follow:
Using the Borland IDE, design, enter, compile, link, debug, and run a
program called flip.c. Flip.c is a fair coin tossing simulator. You
must use a while loop, a do while loop, a for loop, an array, a
#define, and a user defined function in this program.
Flip.c will do the following 20 times and record the results:
- Use a random number generator to simulate tossing a fair coin 50
times.
- Record the number of heads and tails in two arrays.
- Print the results of the 20 trials in an eye pleasing format
use four #inlcude to include stdio.h, conio.h, time.h, stdlib.h
use #define to create a literal NTOSSES whose value is 50
use #define to create a literal NTRIALS whose value is 20
define int arrays head[NTRIALS] and tail[NTRIALS]
create a prototype for DoTrial(int trial)
create a prototype for PrintTrials()
main()
{
use clrscr() to clear the screen
use randomize() to initialize the random number generator
within a do while loop call the function DoTrial() to toss the coin
NTOSSES times
call PrintTrials() to display the results
return 0
}
void DoTrial(int trial)
{
within a for loop, toss a coin 50 times and record the results in the
trial element of the
head and tail arrays
}
void PrintTrials()
{
within a while use printf to print the head and tails arrays, one
head and one tail per line
}
end of program
*************** *************** *************** *************** *************** *************** ***************
#include <stdio.h>

int tail[NTRIALS];
void DoTrial(int trial);

{

{
void DoTrial(int trial);
} while (NTOSSES < 50);
PrintTrials();
return 0;
}

{
int toss = 0;
for (toss = 0; toss < 50; toss++)
}
void PrintTrials()
{
printf(" Number of Heads Number of Tails");

Pete,
Thanks, it does exactly what it was supposed to do, however, we are not
at this level yet in class, but I will dissect it so that I know what
every line of code is doing.
Thanks again,

I hope it's not too difficult.
If you have further questions, feel free to ask.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
