Flip Coin N Times and Calculate Percentage Java

How to Use This Calculator

To use this calculator:

1. Enter the number of coin flips (N) in the input field.
2. Click the "Calculate" button to simulate the coin flips.
3. View the results showing the percentage of heads and tails.
4. Use the Java code provided to implement this simulation in your own projects.

The calculator uses a simple random number generator to simulate fair coin flips. The results are displayed as percentages and visualized in a chart.

Formula

The percentage of heads (P_heads) and tails (P_tails) is calculated as follows:

Where N is the total number of coin flips.

Example Calculation

Suppose you flip a coin 100 times. The calculator might produce results like:

This example shows that with 100 flips, the percentages are close to 50% for both heads and tails, demonstrating the law of large numbers.

Java Code Implementation

Here's a Java implementation of the coin flip simulation:

import java.util.Random;

public class CoinFlipSimulator {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int n = 100; // Number of flips
        int heads = 0;
        int tails = 0;

        Random random = new Random();

        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            if (random.nextBoolean()) {
                heads++;
            } else {
                tails++;
            }
        }

        double percentageHeads = (double) heads / n * 100;
        double percentageTails = (double) tails / n * 100;

        System.out.println("Number of Heads: " + heads);
        System.out.println("Number of Tails: " + tails);
        System.out.println("Percentage Heads: " + percentageHeads + "%");
        System.out.println("Percentage Tails: " + percentageTails + "%");
    }
}

This code uses the Random class to generate random boolean values, simulating coin flips. The results are then calculated and printed.
