A lack of understanding of the probability surrounding the Monty Hall Paradox required a hands-on, heuristic approach to convince myself and friends. This program serves to simulate the scenario described here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem) and ultimately shows that the player truly does have a 2/3 chance of winning as long as they always choose to switch doors (as opposed to the common misconception that there is a 50/50 chance of choosing the correct door).
