Program Plan Intro

The Game of Nim

Program plan:

• Import the required packages
• Define the class “Nim”.
• Define the main method.
  • Create an object for scanner class.
  • Create an object for random method.
  • Generate a random number between 0 and 100.
  • Generate a random number between 0 and 100 and store it in variable “turn”
  • Generate a random number between 0 and 100 and store it in variable “move”.
  • Check whether the “size” is greater than 0.
    • Print the size.
    • Declare and initialize the random variables.
    • Check whether the “turn” equals to “0”.
      • Check whether the “move” is equals to “1”, “3”, “7”, “15”, “31”, 31, “63”.
        • Generate the random number
        • Otherwise, Check the “size” is greater than “63”.
        • Check the “size” is greater than “63”.
        • • Subtract “63” from “size”
        • Check the “size” is greater than “31”.
        • • Subtract “31” from “size”
        • Check the “size” is greater than “15”.
        • • Subtract “15” from “size”
        • Check the “size” is greater than “7”.
        • • Subtract “7” from “size”
        • Check the “size” is greater than “3”.
        • • Subtract “3” from “size”
        • Check the “size” is greater than “1”.
        • • Subtract “1” from “size”
        • Print the result.
    • Otherwise, check the condition using “do..while” loop.
      • Print the statement.
      • Get the value.
      • Check the condition
      • Assign “0” to “turn”.
    • Subtract the size.
  • Check whether the “turn” equals to “0”.
    • Print the statement that human lost the game.
    • Otherwise, print the statement that computer lost the game.
