C++ beginner- How to roll two dice??

[clairelee0322]

Hello guys again!
I am a C++ beginner and I am working on another project.. It's called Dice Lab with Loops..
unforunately I don't even know how to start the program....
Don't blame me for not pay attention in the class.. Seriously, my teacher just ask us to do the sample programs in the textbook and prepare for the finals...
Everytime I ask him question... he has to open the textbook to find the answer..

I've been searching for dice roll in the google but I can't really understand the codes..

I just want to ask how to roll two dice in a really simple way?
Or use the loops? For loops or while loops?
Does there have any function for it or----?

thanks alot....

Write a program that will roll two dice (each dice is from 1 to 6) and then total them together. The user should be able to input how many times they would like to have the dice rolled. Your program should output the rolls and once the rolls are done, it should output how many of each number had been rolled.

Example output
How many rolls would you like? 10

D1: 3 D2:6 Total: 9
D1: 4 D2:2 Total: 6
D1: 3 D2:1 Total: 4
D1: 5 D2:2 Total: 7
D1: 1 D2:1 Total: 2
D1: 2 D2:6 Total: 8
D1: 4 D2:4 Total: 8
D1: 6 D2:4 Total: 10
D1: 3 D2:4 Total: 7
D1: 5 D2:2 Total: 7

Dice Roll Totals
2=1
3=0
4=1
5=0
6=1
7=3
8=2
9=1
10=1
11=0
12=0

You might want to try looking up srand(...) and rand(...) those things will probably be the biggest help to you.

[Studlyami]

First break down the logic of the program in regular words (don't worry about code). What steps would you do (in real life) to get the results that you wanted. Then after you have figured out the process convert that over into code. As far as determining the random part (the rolling of the dice) use Red Son's advice and look up srand and rand. If you still have problems with it post back up your questions and show us what you have tried.

hi

sorry for posting solution code, never again.

A good way to solve your problem would be to use rand() from stdlib.h and try to get a number between 1 and 6.
this could be done by producing a real number between 0 and 1 and keep for examble , from the real number 0.678284584... the 0.6 and multiply it by 10 and do that until you get a number between 1 - 6

hi,

read this peace of code i think will help you:

this function creates a random int number between [low....high] in your case put low = 1 and high = 6 and it make use of rand() from stdlib.h, so

this function is taken from a library made by Eric S. Roberts who wrote the book
"The Art and Science of C" ISBN 960-209-791-4.
