Pseudocode for Probability and Simulation (VCE SSCE Mathematical Methods): Flashcards

Informal notation to describe algorithms

Simulation (estimates) & exact calculation

Random real number in $(0, 1)$

Random integer between $n$ and $m$ inclusive

Discrete outcomes (dice, cards); random() for continuous

$\frac{\text{count}}{\text{total}}$

When you know exact number of iterations

Until a specific condition is met

Systematically check all possible outcomes

One loop layer per independent random event
