    This document contains code to price down-and-out barrier put options using two different Monte Carlo simulation methods: control variates and quasi-random Halton sequences. The control variates method generates asset paths, calculates payoffs if the barrier is not crossed or payoffs of 0 if crossed, fits a normal distribution to estimate the price and provides the price, confidence interval and number of crossings. The Halton sequence method similarly generates paths using quasi-random numbers, calculates payoffs and estimates the price while also reporting the number of crossings.
