    Flipping a coin!

    Hello,


    Just a beginner! I've got a darts game between two players. I need to work out how many games player 1 wins and player 2 wins out of 1000 games if there is a coin flip and thereafter the loser starts.


    Code:
    if (p1 < p2) 
            wins = 1 ;
        else 
            wins = 0 ;

    This is my code for if p1 has less throws than p2 then they win. I just don't know how to make them flip for it!


    Thanks alot,


    Hannah

    You can find out about random numbers by studying std::rand and std::srand.
