Question

C++ LANGUAGE

Write a function named coinToss that simulates the tossing of a coin. When you call the function, it should generate a random number in the range of 1 through 2. If the random number is 1, the function should display "heads". If the random number is 2, the function should display "tails." Demonstrate the function in a program that asks the user how many times the coin should be tossed and then simulates the tossing of the coin that number of times.

Don't forget you need:

do/while loop(s) for input validation

use pass by value and pass by reference as needed

Explanation / Answer

#include “stdafx.h”
#include<iostream>
#include<ctime>
#include<cstdlib>

using namespace std;

void coinToss();

int main()
{  

int times;
cout<<“How many times the coin should be tossed?”;
cin>>times;

for(int i=1;i<=times;i++)
{
coinToss();
}

system(“pause”);
return 0;
}

void coinToss()
{
int randomNumber;
unsigned seed=time(0);
srand(seed);
randomNumber=rand()%2+1;
if(randomNumber==1)cout<<“heads”;
else if (randomNumber==2)cout<<“tails”<<endl;

}
