Homework 2: Coin Toss Simulation

• Review the dice simulation example files Die.java and DieTest.java.
• In a file named Coin.java, create a class named Coin to simulate a coin which has two faces, heads and tails.
  • The Coin class should have two constants named HEADS and TAILS, set to 0 and 1 (or true and false).
  • Each coin object should have a variable named face which is either HEADS or TAILS.
  • Create a method to test the value of the coin face, e.g. one of these:
    • getFace() returns the value of face
    • isHeads() returns true if face is HEADS, false if face is TAILS
  • Implement a flip() method to flip the coin. It should randomly set face to either HEADS or TAILS.
    • e.g. If Math.random() is greater than 0.5, set face to HEADS, otherwise set face to TAILS.
  • Create a constructor method Coin(). When the coin is initialized it should be flipped.
• In a file named CoinTest.java, create a class named CoinTest with just one method named main().
  • Create a new coin object.
  • Ask the user to enter the number of coin flips n.
  • Loop to flip the coin n times. Count and print how many heads and how many tails occurred.
  • Test and print whether the number of heads was greater than, less than or equal to the number of tails.
• Check: Make sure all your variables, methods and classes are either public or private as appropriate.
• Compile the programs by typing javac Coin.java CoinTest.java
  • If there are no other Java files in the current directory you can simply type javac *.java.
• Run, test, debug and document the programs.
• Send the source code to the instructor as two attachments in a message with subject java hw2.
