Program Plan Intro

Creation of main method to compute a value to find greatest puzzler

Program Plan:

  • Define a method “shoot()” for simulation of a single shot.
    • It simulates shooting at “targetAlive” with given “accuracy”.
    • It generates a random number in between 0 and 1.
    • If random number goes less than “accuracy”, target is hit also “targetAlive” is set to false.
  • Define a method “startDuel()” for duel simulation.
    • Declare variables used in function.
    • Call “shoot()” method to simulate entire duel with this strategy.
    • It loops until one contestant remains.
    • It invokes shoot function with value for target as well as probability for hitting target.
    • It returns a value that indicates the winner of duel.
  • Define the main method.
    • Declare variables required for the function.
    • Call method “startDuel()” to simulation of a duel.
    • It returns a value that indicates the winner of duel.
    • It updates values for winners.
    • Display values of percentages of win.
