C# Homework Solution

using System;

        // Main game loop
        while (tortoisePos < finishLine && harePos < finishLine)

            // Tortoise moves
            int tortoiseMove = rand.Next(1, 11);
            if (tortoiseMove >= 1 && tortoiseMove <= 5)
            {
                tortoisePos += 3;

            // Display current positions
            Console.WriteLine("Tortoise position: " + tortoisePos);
            Console.WriteLine("Hare position: " + harePos);
        }

        // Determine the winner
        if (tortoisePos >= finishLine)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Tortoise wins!");

}
This program sets up a race track with a finish line at position 100, and then simulates the Tortoise vs Hare race using a while loop. The tortoise and hare move randomly based on probabilities defined by the Tortoise vs Hare algorithm. After each move, the program displays the current positions of the tortoise and hare. Once one of them crosses the finish line, the program determines the winner and displays the result.
