[CSC 204] Sample Output

[Andrew Pounds]

Okay -- here is sample output from one of my program runs.  Try to make 
your output look like this.


 ***** C R A Z Y   G A M E   O F   C H A N C E  *****


Sides on Die 1 : 4
Sides on Die 2 : 8
Sides on Die 3 : 10


 Rolls        Mean    Median   Mode    Delta Mode  Probability of Rolling Mode 
 -----------  ------  -------  ------  ----------  --------------------------- 
          10  11.364    11        7       -1             27.27 
         100  12.139    12       11       11             11.88 
        1000  12.356    12       12       12             10.29 
       10000  12.492    13       13       12              9.89 
      100000  12.520    13       12       12              9.76 
     1000000  12.504    12       12       12              9.74 
  1000000000  12.500    13       12       12              9.70 



Now -- pay special attention to the Delta Mode column.   For small 
numbers of rolls, it is quite possible that you never roll the same 
number twice -- which means all the elements of the Delta array will be 
zero.  If this is the case, return a negative one.

Also, the probability of rolling the mode is listed as a percentage -- 
so calculate the probability and multiply by  100.

Some of you may have computers that aren't up to the challenge of 
computing the "billion" rolls.  Test with
smaller rolls, get your formatting right, and then send me the code 
after you change the max rolls back to a billion.

Finally, the program is due tomorrow night.  I will, however, accept the 
extra credit late with a penalty of 25% taken off per day late.  So the 
maximum you can get on Saturday is 15 points, 10 points on Sunday, 5 
points on Monday.
