Monte Carlo (MC) simulation is a quantitative risk analysis technique in which uncertain inputs in a model (for example an Excel spreadsheet) are represented by probability distributions (instead of by one value such as the most likely value). By letting your computer recalculate your model over and over again (for example 10,000 times) and each time using different randomly selected sets of values from the (input) probability distributions, the computer is using all valid combinations of possible input to simulate all possible outcomes. The results of a MC simulation are distributions of possible outcomes (rather than the one predicted outcome you get from a deterministic model); that is, the range of possible outcomes that could occur and the likelihood of any outcome occurring. This is like running hundreds or thousands of "What-if" analyses on your model, all in one go, but with the added advantage that the 'what-if' scenarios are generated with a frequency proportional to the probability we think they have of occurring.

How do you write a C programme for Monte Carlo Simulation?
First you need to understand "Monte Carlo Simulation, understanding the problem is the first step. When you understand the problem you can then create a solution. When you have the solution (your algorithm) the computer programming will be fairly self evident.
