CS 111 - Introduction to Computer Science
Homework #6

Due: Friday 3/2 at the beginning of class

0. Familiarize yourself with the Game of Pig.

1. Pig - Hold-at-20 Turn: In file PigTurn.java, simulate a single turn of a computer Pig player that holds when the turn total reaches 20. Output each die roll and the final score gain for the computer player on separate lines.  Three example transcripts: 

Roll: 4
Roll: 5
Roll: 6
Roll: 5
Score gain: 20

Roll: 3
Roll: 1
Score gain: 0

Roll: 5
Roll: 2
Roll: 3
Roll: 6
Roll: 5
Score gain: 21

2. Pig - Hold-at-20-or-Goal Turn: It does not make sense to continue rolling when holding would win the game. In file PigTurn2.java, modify your simulation from Exercise 1 so that the computer player is given a non-negative score < 100 from standard input, and holds when the turn total reaches 20 or the goal score of 100 would be achieved. Output each dice roll, the final score gain, and the resulting score for the computer player on separate lines.  Example transcript with user input underlined:

Score? 90
Roll: 2
Roll: 3
Roll: 4
Roll: 4
Turn total: 13
New Score: 103

3. Pig - Hold-at-20-or-Goal Game: In this exercise, you will use your turn simulation of exercise 2 to simulate an entire single-player Pig game in file PigSolitaireGame.java.  Using a variable score initialized to 0, simulate a game played to 100 points by a computer player with this policy.  Example transcript:

Roll: 4
Roll: 6
Roll: 1
Turn total: 0
New Score: 0
Roll: 6
Roll: 5
Roll: 5
Roll: 6
Turn total: 22
New Score: 22
Roll: 6
Roll: 2
Roll: 2
Roll: 3
Roll: 3
Roll: 2
Roll: 5
Turn total: 23
New Score: 45
Roll: 3
Roll: 4
Roll: 6
Roll: 2
Roll: 6
Turn total: 21
New Score: 66
Roll: 3
Roll: 3
Roll: 4
Roll: 4
Roll: 6
Turn total: 20
New Score: 86
Roll: 3
Roll: 5
Roll: 5
Roll: 6
Turn total: 19
New Score: 105

4. Multiplication Table:  Using nested loops, write a program MultTable.java that prints the multiplication table (without row/column labels).  Your table should appear in the following right-justified format: 

 1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 
 2  4  6  8 10 12 14 16 18 
 3  6  9 12 15 18 21 24 27 
 4  8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 
 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 
 6 12 18 24 30 36 42 48 54 
 7 14 21 28 35 42 49 56 63 
 8 16 24 32 40 48 56 64 72 
 9 18 27 36 45 54 63 72 81
