Project Euler Problem 084
Statement
The statement of this problem is too long to put it here. This is the link to the original problem.
But basically you have to find the three squares in Monopoly that have more probabilities of being occupied, but instead of 2 dices with 6 faces with 2 dices of 4 faces.
Solution
Simulate a player for 1000000 rolls of dices and see the results.
import random board = [0 for x in range(40)] cc = 0 ch = 0 doubles = 0 position = 0 rw = (5, 15, 25, 35) ut = (12, 28) def make_move(): global board, cc, ch, doubles, position, rw, ut dice1 = random.randint(1, 4) dice2 = random.randint(1, 4) if dice1 == dice2: doubles += 1 else: doubles = 0 if doubles == 3: position = 10 doubles = 0 return position += dice1 + dice2 position %= 40 if position == 30: position = 10 return elif position == 2 or position == 17 or position == 33: cc = (cc + 1) % 15 if cc == 0: position = 0 return elif cc == 1: position = 10 return elif position == 7 or position == 22 or position == 36: ch = (ch + 1) % 15 if ch == 0: position = 0 return elif ch == 1: position = 10 return elif ch == 2: position = 11 return elif ch == 3: position = 24 return elif ch == 4: position = 39 return elif ch == 5: position = 5 return elif ch == 6 or ch == 7: while position not in rw: position += 1 if position == 40: position = 0 return elif ch == 8: while position not in ut: position += 1 if position == 40: position = 0 return elif ch == 9: position -= 3 return if __name__ == '__main__': result = "" for i in range(10 ** 6): make_move() board[position] += 1 max_prob = sorted((-board[i], i) for i in range(len(board))) result = "%2d%2d%2d" % (max_prob[0][1], max_prob[1][1], max_prob[2][1]) print("The result is:", result)
