Java Program to Toss a Coin
Let’s say we have a coin and 10 chances. Here, we will first initialize the values for head, tail and chances −
int heads = 0; int tails = 0; int chances = 10;
Now, we will get the head and tail values using the Random object −
for (int i = 1; i<= chances; i++) {
if (t.chanceFunc().equals("tails")) {
tails++;
} else {
heads++;
}
}Above, the function chanceFunc() is having Random class with the nextInt() method to get the next random value. The condition is checked and the heads and tails values are returned −
public String chanceFunc() {
Random r = new Random();
int chance = r.nextInt(2);
if (chance == 1) {
return"tails";
} else {
return"heads";
}
}Example
import java.util.Random;
class Toss {
public String chanceFunc() {
Random r = new Random();
int chance = r.nextInt(2);
if (chance == 1) {
return"tails";
} else {
return"heads";
}
}
}
public class Demo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Toss t = new Toss();
int heads = 0;
int tails = 0;
int chances = 10;
for (int i = 1; i<= chances; i++) {
if (t.chanceFunc().equals("tails")) {
tails++;
} else {
heads++;
}
}
System.out.println("Chances = " + chances);
System.out.println("Heads: " + heads);
System.out.println("Tails: " + tails);
}
}Output
Chances = 10 Heads: 3 Tails: 7
Let us run the program again −
Chances = 10 Heads: 4 Tails: 6
