Thread: [Beginner] Monty Hall Guide Needed

This my latest assignment for this week and urgh i don't how to solve this.. I totally have no idea..

This is the QUESTION : Monty Hall problem - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here is my sketch for the whole problem.

This is where I'm at so far, what should I do next?

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h> // rand() & srand() function
#include <time.h> // rand() & srand() function
#define MAX 3


int main(void){


	int i, door[3] = { 0, 0, 0}; 
	int car, initialPick;


	srand(time(NULL));
		for( i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++ ){					
			
			car = rand()%MAX+1; // place the car at the start using random number generator
			initialPick = rand()%MAX+1; // stimulate contestant initial pick using random generator
			
			if ( rand()%2+1 = 1 ){
					stays();
			else  
					repick();
			}
			printf("\n");
		}


		printf("The number of games played are %d and %lf win", i, );


}

I think you should formulate this as a programming problem before going any further. A programming problem should be able to be written using this kind of formulation: "Write a program to simulate the Monty Hall problem. The input to your program is ... and the output is ..."

If you know your program will need to use features X, Y and Z, you could start by writing some minimal programs that use only those features. For example, if you know you will need to generate random numbers in your program but haven't done this before in C, then first write a simple program that only does that and nothing else.

It depends on what the problem is. See the earlier post. You need a problem statement before you know what the problem is.
