- main for function call

This is a revision of the racquetball simulation. The problem has two major changes:
The program has to calculate results for best of n games.
First service is alternated between A and B. The odd numbered games of the match are served first by A and even numbered games are first served by B.

Output:
This program simulates a game of racquetball between two
players called "A" and "B". The abilities of each player is
indicated by a probability (a number between 0 and 1) that
reflects the likelihood of a player winning the serve.
Player A has the first serve.
What is the prob. player A wins a serve? 0.5
What is the prob. player B wins a serve? 0.7
How many games to simulate? 2
Games simulated: 2
Wins for A: 1 (50.0%)
Wins for B: 1 (50.0%)
