MONTY HALL PROBLEM SIMULATOR

Author: Joshua McMahan

Last Updated: 05/21/2019

Description:

This program simulates the infamous "Monty Hall" game theory problem solved by vos Savant, as described below:
   
1. Players are shown three (3) doors, two (2) of which hide a goat behind them, and one (1) which hides a car
2. Players choose a door. After their choice has been made, the game's host opens another door, revealing a 
   goat behind it, and then offers the player a choice: open the door they've already chosen, or switch to the 
   other unopened door.
3. Statistically, the player has a 2/3 chance of winning a car if they choose to switch doors, as opposed to
   a 1/3 chance of winning if they choose not to switch; this probability is what this simulator intends to prove

Thanks for playing! Enjoy!
