Hey..

[Whackey]

I am in class right now and I need to know how to get a random number from a float variable..

Eg
"Make a random program that stimulates a coin toss. Generate a random number, if the number is less than .5 it's a head and if its greater it's a tail."

Please help

I also just got an error..

C:\Graphic Programming\ConsoleApplication2\Class1.cs(23): The name 'userInput' does not exist in the class or namespace 'ConsoleApplication2.Class1'

but I declared it..

[QUOTE]using System;

namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for Class1.
/// </summary>
class Class1
{
/// <summary>
/// The main entry point for the application.
/// </summary>
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string userResponce;

Console.WriteLine("Enter either 1 or 5");

userResponce = Console.ReadLine();
userInput = Console.ReadLine();

switch (userInput)
{
case "1":
Console.WriteLine("I never liked one, try again.");
break;
case "2":
Console.WriteLine("Nope, try again");
break;
case "5":
Console.WriteLine("Good job!");
break;
default:
Console.WriteLine("I didn't say {0}, you imbecile!", userResponce);
break;
}




Console.ReadLine();
//
// TODO: Add code to start application here
//
}
}
}

You are not gonna get help like this. You cant just ask for us to do your assignment.

Anyway, there is a Random number generator in the framework. Search the help files and you should be ok.

This should be real simple.

Alright.. thank you and I'm sorry if it came across that way.. I didn't mean for you to do my assignment only to help me find a way to do it myself

[Mike Hildner]

if the number is less than .5 it's a head and if its greater it's a tail.

If it's exactly .5 does it land on it's side?

good question
