Question

Modify the 13 eggGame problem from Lab 3. Ask the user whether they

want to go first or whether the computer (Tortoise) should go first. In

itialize player

variable to 1 or 2 accordingly.

Write a function that makes the selection for the Tortoise. The prototype

for the function is:

int tortoisePick(int numberEggs)

There is a strategy that you can use so that the Tortoise always wins.

When

the function is called: if numberEggs divided by 4 (integer

division), gives a remainder that is not zero, that is the number the

computer (Tortoise) should select. Otherwise, the computer (Tortoise)

should select 1 to give the user (Hare) the maximum o

pportunity to make a

mistake.

The return value is the number of eggs that the Tortoise selects.
