Need Help on Coin Toss Program

need to use the random number generator I am using in the code.
need it to display the results I have listed under void for the result of the coin toss.
and then need to make it ask if I want to flip again(which is not included yet).

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

char AskForInput();
void DisplayHead();
void DisplayTail();
int result;



int main()
{
        srand(static_cast<unsigned int>(time(0))); 
    int HeadOrTails = rand();
        int result = (HeadOrTails % 2) + 1;
 
        int Heads=1;
    int Tails=2;
        char AskForInput;
        cout << "\n\nEnter your guess: ";
    cin>> AskForInput;
  cout<<"You guessed:"<<AskForInput;
       
  cout<<"\nResult is:"<<result;
  if (result=1)
  {
          cout<<"\nThe Result is Heads";
  }
  if (result=2)
  {
          cout<<"\nThe Result is Tails";
  }
 

void DisplayHeads();
        {
                cout<<"\n        _.-'~~`~~'-._        \n";
            cout<<"      .'`  B  E  R `'      \n";
                cout<<"      / I            T |;    \n";
                cout<<"    /`        .-'~''-.    ;    \n";
                cout<<"  ; L      / `-    \    Y ;  \n";
                cout<<"  ;        />  `.  -.|    ;  \n";
                cout<<"  |        /_    '-.__)    | \n";
                cout<<"  |        |-  _.' \ |      | \n";
                cout<<"  ;        `~~;  \\\\      ; \n";
                cout<<"  ;  INGODWE /    \\\\)P  ;  \n";
                cout<<"  (  TRUST '.___.-'`''  /  \n";
                cout<<"    `(                  /`    \n";
                cout<<"      '._  1 9 9 7  _.'    \n";
                cout<<"        `'-..,,,..-'`        \n";
       
        }
void DisplayTails();
        {
      cout<<"\n        _.-'~~`~~'-._        \n";
          cout<<"      .'`A    R    `'    \n";
          cout<<"      / U      __    T |;    \n";
          cout<<"    /`        /'{>      ;    \n";
          cout<<"    ; Q    ____) (____  E ;  \n";
          cout<<"  ;    //'--;  ;--'))  R ; \n";
          cout<<"  |    ///////[_]))))))    | \n";
          cout<<"  |          m m          | \n";
          cout<<"  ;          TAILS        ; \n";
          cout<<"    ;D                      ;  \n";
          cout<<"    (                    R/  \n";
          cout<<"    '( O                A/`    \n";
          cout<<"      '._  L  L      _.'    \n";
          cout<<"          `'-..,,,..-'`        \n";
        }
       

return 0;
}

my Question is:
How do I get it to take the result of the random number generated(the toss )
and use it in the coding to let it display a message.
"example"

Code:

---

if(result=AskForInput)
{
  cout<<"You Guessed Correctly";

---

and then how do I let it display the "DisplayHeads" / "DisplayTails" after it checks for the result?

Code:

---

  if (result=1)
  {
          cout<<"\nThe Result is Heads";
          if(AskForInput == 'h')
            cout << "\nYou guessed correctly!";
  }

---

I'm guessing you can figure out the rest from there.

so I do have make case 'h' and a case 't'?

if (result=1)

I tried doing such but it would just always say correct without saying incorrect.
It's like it counted 2 as result = 1 or something

Well there's a difference between
if ( result = 1 )
and
if ( result == 1 )

and then need to make it ask if I want to flip again(which is not included yet).

what value do I return it to? or how would I loop it to make it repeat

Well you might consider making what you have so far in main into

Code:

---

void flipOneCoin ( void ) {
}

---

Then make your main into something else, which calls flipOneCoin() in a loop.

Code:

---

if (result=1)
  {
          cout<<"\nThe Result is Heads";
          if(AskForInput == 'h')
            cout << "\nYou guessed correctly!";
  }

---

This was posted earlier I tried it and it will go through the code giving result the value of 1 and 2

Well you might consider making what you have so far in main into

Code:

---

void flipOneCoin ( void ) {
}

Can you also explain this more thoroughly?
mainly atm I'm having problems with result equaling both 1 and 2 so I can't let it distinguish.

Well I already told you about = vs. ==, yet you still carry on using =

Heh. That's what I get for copying and pasting. It should obviously be result==1 instead.

Figured it out works perfectly
needed (result "==" 2) etc.
and needed a closing declaration to close int main()
before the void functions
and got the loop to work as you mentioned above, was having problems looping it because I figured the program had to end after the voids
Ty for the help
