Description

The purpose of this challenge is examine the output and write the C++ source code that produces the given output and interaction.

Requirements

1. You may use any combination of variable declarations, assignments, conditional statements, expressions, loops, etc
2. Include <cstdlib> and <ctime> to enable the use of the built-in random number generator. See below on how to use the random number generator to have the computer produce integers within a given range.

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>

int main()
{
  int v1, v2, v3;

  srand(time(NULL));
  
  // these are examples on how to use the rand() function
  // v1, v2 and v3 are assigned random numbers below in the 
  // ranges shown in the comments
  v1 = rand() % 100;         // v1 in the range 0 to 99
  v2 = rand() % 100 + 1;     // v2 in the range 1 to 100
  v3 = rand() % 2;           // v3 in the range 0 to 1

  return 0;
}

Sample Interaction / Output

$ [ run your program ]

You have $20.00 in your account
I'm going to simulate flipping a coin repeatedly. 

If it comes up heads, you get $1
If it comes up tails twice in a row, you lose $2
If it comes up heads twice in a row, you get $2
If it comes up heads three times in a row, you get $10. When this happens, I will ask you a question that will determine your fate.

I'm going to flip a coin until you run out of money or you get up to $50. If you get to $50, you win. If you lose all your money, I win. 

Here we go!

HEADS - You now have $21
TAILS
TAILS - You now have $19
HEADS - You now have $20
HEADS - You now have $21
TAILS
HEADS - You now have $22
HEADS - You now have $23
HEADS - You now have $33
Wow, 3 HEADS in a row! Do you think the next flip will be heads? If you guess right, you win. Otherwise, it's over.

Guess the next flip? heads

YOU WIN!
Play again (y/n)? y
