Program Plan:

  • Import the header file.
  • Define the “main” method.
    • Call the “printIntro ()” method
    • Call the “getInputs ()” method.
    • Call the “simNMatches ()” method.
    • Call the “printSummary ()” method.
  • Define the “printIntro()” method.
    • Print the intro statements.
  • Define the “getInputs()” method.
    • Get the player A possible for win from the user.
    • Get the player B possible for win from the user.
    • Get how many games to simulate from the user.
  • Define the “simNMatches()” method.
    • Set the values
    • Iterate “i” until it reaches “n” value
      • Call the method
      • Check “scoreA” is greater than “scoreB”
        • Increment the “winsA” value
      • Otherwise, increment the “winsB” value.
      • Return the value.
  • Define the “simOneGame ()” method
    • Call the “findService ()” method
    • Set the values
    • Check the condition
      • If “serving” is equal to “A”
        • Check “random ()” is less than “probA”
          • Increment the “scoreA” value
        • Otherwise, set the value
      • Check “serving” is equal to “B”
        • Check “random ()” is less than “probB”
        • Increment the “scoreB” value
      • Otherwise, set the value.
      • Return the results.
  • Define the “findService ()” method
    • Check result of “x%2” is equal to 0
      • Return “A”

  • Define the “gameOver ()” method
    • Check “a” or “b” is greater than 15
      • Check “a-b” is greater than or equal to 2
        • Return true.
      • Otherwise, return false.
            • Otherwise, return false.
