Can this loop run in parallel (1)?
The following piece of code implements a simple dice game. The game is as follows:
- Initialize:
total <- 0
. - Roll a single die and add it to
total
. - If
total
is even, resettotal
to zero. - If
total
is greater than 10, the game finishes.
This is straightforward to code in R
total <- no_of_rolls <- 0 # Initialize
while(total < 10) {
total <- total + sample(1:6, 1)
if(total %% 2 == 0) total <- 0 # If even. Reset to 0
no_of_rolls <- no_of_rolls + 1
}
no_of_rolls
Do you think this algorithm can be (easily) run in parallel?
