Two strategies for choosing a prize box in a game where only one contains the grand prize. The first strategy is to stick with your initial choice, while the second strategy is to switch with the remaining box.

•There are three prize boxes (A, B, C) and
only one (randomly chosen) contains the
TV show grand prize.
•You’ll pick one out of the three as your
choice.
•After your pick, the TV show host reveals
one empty box from the remaining 2.
•Now, do you stick with your choice, or
switch with the unopened remaining box?
Simulation Setup
•0 1 2 for A B C
•B = Random pick the box containing the
prize
•P = Your random pick
•Both are random numbers from (0,1,2)
Strategy 1: Stick
•You stick with your initial choice P:
•If ( P = B ) then you win, else you lose
Conditional in Shell

Last Time …

  • There are three prize boxes (A, B, C) and only one (randomly chosen) contains the TV show grand prize.
  • You’ll pick one out of the three as your choice.
  • After your pick, the TV show host reveals one empty box from the remaining 2.
  • Now, do you stick with your choice, or switch with the unopened remaining box?

Simulation Setup

  • 0 1 2 for A B C
  • B = Random pick the box containing the prize
  • P = Your random pick
  • Both are random numbers from (0,1,2)

Strategy 1: Stick

  • You stick with your initial choice P:
  • If ( P = B ) then you win, else you lose

Conditional in Shell

  • if condition
  • then
  • command-list
  • elif condition
  • then
  • command-list
  • else
  • command-list
  • fi

Conditional commands

b=gen-random p=gen-random if [ $b = $p ] then echo yes else echo no fi

  • Run this many times to count the frequency of yes Š remember the while loop!

Strategy 2: Switch

  • You switch your initial choice P with the remaining box.
  • If ( P = B ) then you lose, else you win!

Strategy 2: switch

b=gen-random p=gen-random if [ $b = $p ] then echo no else echo yes fi

  • Run this many times to count the frequency of yes

Shell Programming Summary

  • numbers and names (strings)
  • shell variables, assignments, substitutions
  • conditions
  • loops (while, for)
  • That’s all that is ever needed for a programming language, really
  • In practice, fairly limited

Javascript

  • More powerful … in the sense that we can write less and do more
  • Run within the browser
  • Embedded in the HTML web pages (to tell the browser how to produce this page)

The

…

The document object

  • document refers to the webpage to be produced by the browser Š The web browser downloads the html source, but need to produce the document on the screen
  • document.write(…); Š write is a method, or action, that a document can perform. Š … is the parameter that provides data to the action Š it is really the same as directly typing … into the html source, but more flexible – allow us to do computation!
