Java Program to Generate a Random Subset by Coin Flipping

This is a java program to generate a random subset using coin flipping method. Coin is flipped, if is head(1), that element is in the subset else not in the subset.

Here is the source code of the Java Program to Generate a Random Subset by Coin Flipping. The Java program is successfully compiled and run on a Windows system. The program output is also shown below.

```
import java.util.Random;
```
```
import java.util.Scanner;
```
```
 
```

public class Random_Subset_Coin_Flipping

```

    public static void main(String args[])

```

```
        Random random = new Random();
```

        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

        System.out.println("Enter the number of elements in the set: ");

```
        int N = sc.nextInt();
```
```
        int[] sequence = new int[N];
```
```
 
```
```
        for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
```

            sequence[i] = Math.abs(random.nextInt(100));

```
 
```

        System.out.println("The elements in the set : ");

```
        for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
```

            System.out.print(sequence[i] + " ");

```
 
```

        System.out.print("\nThe random subset is: \n{ ");

```
        for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
```
```
            if (coinFlip() == 1)
```

                System.out.print(sequence[i] + " ");

```
        System.out.println("}");
```
```
        sc.close();
```
```
    }
```
```
}
```

Output:

$ javac Random_Subset_Coin_Flipping.java
$ java Random_Subset_Coin_Flipping
 
Enter the number of elements in the set: 
10
The elements in the set : 
1 44 88 58 8 62 94 59 38 33 
The random subset is: 
{ 1 44 8 33 }
 
Enter the number of elements in the set: 
3
The elements in the set : 
0 42 91 
The random subset is: 
{ 42 91 }
