Toss_Coin

Write a program to simulate tossing a coin (use a two-sided die). The program should

toss a coin 10,000 times (or some number of times specified by the user) and keep track

of the longest run of heads or tails that occurs in a sequence of simulated coin flips.

Thus, in the sequence

4 heads.

To keep track of the runs, four variables—

HTHTTTHHHHT there is a sequence of 3 tails and a sequence ofheadRun, tailRun, maxHeads, and

maxTails

of the current head run, the length of the current tail run, and the maximum runs of

heads and of tails, respectively. After the statement

is incremented. After the statement

In addition, these variables must be reset to zero at the appropriate time and the values

of the max head run and max tail run variables set appropriately.
