Question

Write a program for playing the game of Nim. The game of Nim starts with three
heaps and a fixed number of objects in each heap. Two players take turns removing
objects from the heaps. On a players turn, she chooses a heap and removes one or
more objects from that heap. She can remove all the objects from the heap. In our
version of the game of Nim, the player who takes the last object from the heaps (so
that all heaps are empty) wins.

Here is my code so far. They want me to use functions for most of the program. all thats left to do is minor errors that i cant find. if somebody could help that would be amazing


#include
#include
#include

#include


using namespace std;

// Global constant
// Number of heaps

// FUNCTION PROTOTYPES GO HERE:

//heap_setup prototype
void Heap_setup(int heapcount[], int numberofheaps);

//Player turn indicator prototype
void Player_turn(int player);

//read_heaps prototype
void read_heaps(const int heapsread[], int numberofheaps);

//drawing heaps as * prototype
void heap_drawing(int heapsread[], int numberofheaps);

//turn prototype
void turn(int heapsread[], int player, int numberofheaps);

//win prototype
void win(int Player);


int main()
{
int x = 0; // the number of heaps
int Players = 1; //the 1 is important for the player turn indicator
cout << "how many heaps do you want to use: ";
cin >> x;
int heaps[x];
for (int i = 0; i < x; i++)
{
heaps[i] = 0;
}

Heap_setup(heaps[], x);


// Player 1 or 2
Player_turn(int Players);

// Read number of elements in each heap
read_heaps(const int heaps[], int x);

//sum objects in heap

int sum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < x ; i++)
{
sum += heaps[i];
}

// Draw heaps as rows of *'s
heap_drawing(int heaps[], int x);
// WHILE some heap is not empty DO
While (sum > 0)
{


// Read heap to modify and number of elements to remove from heap

turn(int heaps[], int Players, int x); // Remove elements from heap

// IF all the heaps are empty, THEN

for (int i = 0; i < x ; i++)
{
sum = 0;
sum += heaps[i];
}
read_heaps(const int heaps[], int x);
heap_drawing(int heaps[], int x);

return 0;
}

// FUNCTION DEFINITIONS GO HERE:

Explanation / Answer

The full and working code is below, some things to note is that when you call a function, you do not put the int,const, or [] in the call to the function, that is only for the declaration. Also keep in mind that the language is case sensitive, so for a while loop, you must have while lowercase and not While, as it will not recognize this. Lastly be more careful when setting your bounds, for one IF statement for example, it was set so you could enter in 3 if there were 3 heaps (when only 0,1,2 are legal). I also changed it so you couldnt remove 0 heaps from a heap, as well as you are no longer allowed to remove objects from a heap that have no objects. All in all a very well written program, only a couple of errors here and there, but to major to worry about. #include using namespace std; // Global constant // Number of heaps // FUNCTION PROTOTYPES GO HERE: //heap_setup prototype void Heap_setup(int heapcount[], int numberofheaps); //Player turn indicator prototype void Player_turn(int &player); //read_heaps prototype void read_heaps(const int heapsread[], int numberofheaps); //drawing heaps as * prototype void heap_drawing(int heapsread[], int numberofheaps); //turn prototype void turn(int heapsread[], int player, int numberofheaps); //win prototype void win(int Player); int main() { int x = 0; // the number of heaps int Players = 1; //the 1 is important for the player turn indicator cout > x; int heaps[x]; for (int i = 0; i = numberofheaps || heap_number < 0||heapsread[heap_number]==0) { cout > heap_number; } cout > remove; while(remove > heapsread[heap_number]|| remove remove; } heapsread[heap_number]= heapsread[heap_number]-remove; } void win(int Player) { if(Player == 1) { cout
