Write an application that simulates coin tossing

I'll leave you to create a Windows Forms application and add a button (btnToss) and a couple of labels (lblHeads and lblTails).

The code to be added to the Form class to toss the coin and display the results will be as follows:

private static Random rand = new Random();

private bool Flip()

{

int number = rand.Next(0, 2); // returns either 0 or 1

if (number == 0) return false;

return true;

}

// add handler by double-clicking on form in VS designer

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

lblTails.Text = "0";

lblHeads.Text = "0";

}

// add handler by double-clicking on button in VS designer

private void btnToss_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

bool isHeads = Flip();

if(isHeads)

{

lblHeads.Text = (int.Parse(lblHeads.Text) + 1).ToString() ;

}

else

{

lblTails.Text = (int.Parse(lblTails.Text) + 1).ToString() ;

}
