Section 24.5 Building a Simulation - 2
Now that we have a working function, we can focus on using the function. Look for the spot with the missing code at line 28. Add the needed code to complete the accumulator pattern to count up the number of times
result ends up as True. The expected answer is around 80% - about 8 times out of 10 you should get at least 5 heads in a row if you flip a coin 100 times.
If you run into troubles, here are some debugging tips:
-
We know
checkHeadsInRowworks. Focus your attention on the main part of the program. -
Print the
resultyou get in each repetition loop. -
Print the
successCounterat the end of each repetition of the loop. -
Reduce repetitions to something like 10 to make it easier to see all the output. Your answer will be less reliable with fewer repetitions, so reset it to 1000 when you are done debugging.
