This is a simple Java program that simulates Bitcoin mining. It generates random numbers and if the sum of two numbers is close to 1, it increments the Bitcoin count.
-
Creating Random and Scanner objects: The program starts by creating a
Random
object for generating random numbers and aScanner
object for reading input from the console. -
User input: The program asks the user to enter the time they want to wait for mining Bitcoins.
-
Initializing variables: The program initializes a variable to keep track of the number of Bitcoins found and gets the current time in milliseconds.
-
Mining loop: The program enters a loop that continues until the specified time by the user has passed. Inside the loop, the program generates a random number. If the absolute difference between this number and 1 is less than 0.01, the program increments the Bitcoin count by a random value multiplied by 2.
-
Displaying results: The program displays the number of Bitcoins found so far.
-
Closing the Scanner: Finally, the program closes the
Scanner
object.
