C++ Tutorials - Absolute n00b spoonfeed

Make a game that flips a coin 100 times and outputs hows many times it landed on heads and how many times it landed on tales.

This is a challenge i got from a book when i was learning Python, i had fun with it so i thought i would share good luck.

I'm sure it could be much shorter, but meh...

Code: Select all

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <time.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sstream>

using namespace std;

void main()
{
   srand(time(0));
   char input;

   while (1>0)
   {
      int heads = 0, tails = 0;
      cout<<"\nBegin? y or n";
      cin>>input;
      if( input == 'n' || input == 'N')
      {
         break;
      }
         if(input == 'y' || input == 'Y')
         {
      
   for(int i=0; i<=49; i++)
   {
      int x = rand() % 2 +1;
      if(x == 1)
      {
         heads++;
         cout<<" heads \n";
      }
      else{
         tails++;
         cout<<" tails \n";
      }
   }                                            // end for loop
   }
   cout<<"\nTotal number of Heads: "<<heads;
   cout<<"\nTotal number of Tails: "<<tails;
   }                                           //end of while
}


heres mine

Code: Select all

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    srand(time(0));
    int heads = 0;
    int tails = 0;
    for (int i = 0;i < 100;i++)
    {
        int randNum = rand()%2;
        if (randNum == 1)
        {
            heads++;

        }
        else if (randNum == 0)
        {
            tails++;
        }
    }
    cout << heads << endl;
    cout << tails << endl;
}



This one was a little more stuff ive done bevore using the rand()..

Code: Select all

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <time.h>
using namespace std;




void coin(){

   cout<<"Lets flip a coin 100 times...  ";
   int head;
   head = 0;
   int tale;
   tale = 0;

   for(int x = 0;x <= 100;x++){
   int random;
   random = rand()% +2;
   
      if (random == 1)
      {
         head++;
      }
      else
      {
         tale++;
      }

   }
   {
         cout<<"Done!\n\n";


         cout<<"Head came: "<<head<<endl;
         cout<<"Tale came: "<<tale<<endl;

         if (head >tale)
         {
         cout<<"I guess head von with "<<head<<" times\n\n";
         }
         else
         {
         cout<<"I guess tale von with "<<tale<<" times\n\n";
         }

   }

   cout<<"Again? (Y)es/(N)o \n";

   char nextTry;
   cin>>nextTry;

   if (nextTry == 'y' || nextTry == 'Y')
   {
      coin();
   }
   else
   {
      cout<<"Thanks for playing!";
   }

}

int main(){

   srand(time(NULL));
   coin();

return 0;
}

Did a little more but in the end it does the same i guess. But i got a warning that wont go away cant put time in a unsigned int blabla... have tryed around but it wont go away

This is my first post here, and I am just learning. I copied and pasted the above, just to see how it looked, when done. But my compiler says there are mistakes. If there were no mistakes after I did it, I was going to copy it, instead of copying and pasting it...so can you help me here? Why are there mistakes? thank you

Here's the coin flipping thing:

Code: Select all


#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(){
   
   int counter;
   bool flip;
   srand(time(NULL));

   for(counter = 0; counter < 100; counter++){
            
            flip = rand() % 2;
            if(flip == 0){
                  
                  cout << "Heads\n";
                  
                  }
                  
            else if(flip == 1){
               
                   cout << "Tails\n";
               
                   }
            
            }
   
   system("pause");
   return 0;
   }

Again , simple one...

Code: Select all

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    int head,tail,x,c;
    head=tail=0;
    srand(time(0));
    for(int i=0;i<100;i++)
    {
            x=rand()%2+1;
            switch(x){
            case 1:
                 head++;
                 cout<<"Head!\n";
                 break;
            case 2:
                 tail++;
                 cout<<"Tail!\n";
                 break;
            }
    }
    cout<<"\nHeads: "<<head;
    cout<<"\nTails: "<<tail<<endl;
    cout<<"Flip again?1-Yes,2-No  ";
    cin>>c;
    switch(c){
    case 1:
         main();
         break;
    case 2:
         return 0;
    default:
            return 0;
    }
}

I tryed my own one.. tell me your ideas guys

Code: Select all

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>


using namespace std;

int main(){
char resp;
bool redo = true;
int coinheads=0,cointales=0;

while(redo){
           
           
for(int i=0; i<100; i++){
int time = rand()%2;         
while(time == 0){
           cointales++;
           break;
                }
while(time == 1 ){
           coinheads++;
           break;
                 }
      }
 
     

cout << "\ncoin landed on tales " << cointales << " times ";
cout << "\ncoin landed on heads " << coinheads << " times \n";

cointales = 0 , coinheads = 0;

cout << "\n Do it again? \t (y) Yes or (n) No\n" << endl;
cin >> resp;
redo = (resp == 'y') ? true : false;

}      //while(redo)
system("pause");
} //main
