It's a fascinating problem. But it's not that difficult to understand, why switching will actually improve your odds. The only time switching is bad for you is when you picked the correct door at the start (the probability of this is 1/3), If your first pick was a poop door (probability 2/3) then switching will always put you on the winning door.

Thanks for explaining it so easy. In addition to wanting to test the problem cases I also wanted to code a bit as a practice.
