Program Plan Intro

The Monty Hall Game

Program plan:

  • Include necessary header files.
  • Declare the namespace.
  • Define the “main()” function.
    • Declare and initialize the necessary variables.
    • The “while” checks the condition.
      • True, call the function “rand()” to check, car behind the door.
      • Select the door using the function “rand()”.
      • The “if” loop checks the condition, “door_car” is equal to “door_select”.
        • True, open the non-car door.
        • Increment the value of the variable “OriginalChoice” by “1”.
      • Otherwise, open the non-car door which is not selected by the user.
        • Increment the value of the variable “OriginalChoice” by “1”.
    • Print the result.
    • Return “0”.

Control Loops: A high school 1000 students and 1000 lockers. The principal plays the following game: She asks dthe first student to open all the lockers. Shen then asks the second student to close all the even-numbered lockers. The third student is asked to check every third locker. If it is open, the student closes it; if it is closed, the student opens it. The remaining students continue this game . In general, the nth student  checks every nth locker. If the locker is open, the student closes it; if it is closed, the student opens it. After all the students have taken their turns, some of the lockers are open and some are closed. Write a program thatprompts the user to enter the number of lockers in a school. After the game is over, the program outputs the number of lockers  and the locker numbers of the lockers that are open. Test run your program for the following inputs: 1000, 5000, 10,000. Do you see any pattern developing for the locker numbers that are open in the output?…
The Monty Hall game is a statistical problem: there is a TV show (like the Monty Hall show) that allows contestants to choose between three doors, A, B, and C. Behind one of these doors is a new car (the winning door), and behind the other two are goats (the losing doors). After the contestant makes a choice, the game show host shows a goat behind one of the doors NOT chosen. The contestant is then given a choice to either switch to the other, non-opened door, or stick with their original guess. The interesting part of this “game" is the statistics involved –a person has a 1/3 chance of originally picking a winning door. The other door – that which is not revealed to have a goat but also was not originally chosen – actually has a 2/3 chance of being a winning door. Therefore, it is in the contestant's best interest to switch doors. You will create a program that simulates the Monty Hall game, where the computer plays the role of the host. The program must have no outputs, but 1) Ask…
