Question

Write a program that simulates flipping a coin repeatedly until three consecutive
       heads are tossed. The program should then display the total number of times the coin was
       flipped. The user does not have to enter any information and we must use a while loop.

Answer 1

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>

int main(int argc, char const *argv[])
{
   int totalFlip = 0, matchCount = 0;
   int previousNumber = -2, currentNumber = -1;
   // to reset random generation
   srand(time(0));
   printf("Number Generated: ");
   while(matchCount != 3)
   {  
       // temp will either be 0 or 1
       currentNumber = rand() % 2;
       printf("%d ",currentNumber);
       // check if match found
       if (currentNumber == previousNumber)
       {
           matchCount += 1;
       }
       // if mathch not found
       else
       {
           previousNumber = currentNumber;
           matchCount = 1;
       }
       totalFlip += 1;
   }
   printf("\ntotalFlip: %d\n", totalFlip);
   return 0;
}
