Problem:

Write a function named coinToss that simulates the tossing of a coin. When you call the function, it should generate a random number in the range of 1 through 2. If the random number is 1, the function should display “heads.” If the random number is 2, the function should display “tails.” Demonstrate the function in a program that asks the user how many times the coin should be tossed and then simulates the tossing of the coin that number of times.

Can you please fix my code so the program works properly.

If you have any doubts, please give me comment...

#include<iostream>

#include<cstdlib>

using namespace std;

int coinToss();

int main(){

srand(time(0));

int numberFlips, heads = 0, tails = 0, outcome;

cout<<"This program will toss a coin and display the results"<<endl;

cout<<"Please enter the amount if times you wish to flip the coin "<<endl;

cin>>numberFlips;

for(int count=1; count<=numberFlips; count++){

outcome = coinToss();

if(outcome==1)

heads++;

else if(outcome==2)

tails++;

}

cout<<"The total number of heads: "<<heads<<endl;

cout<<"The total number of tails: "<<tails<<endl;

return 0;

}

int coinToss(){

const int MAX_VALUE = 3;

const int MIN_VALUE = 1;

int randomNumber = (rand()%(MAX_VALUE-MIN_VALUE))+MIN_VALUE;

if(randomNumber==1)

cout<<"heads"<<endl;

else

cout<<"tails"<<endl;

return randomNumber;

}
