Dice program getting 0s

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I've written a program for one of my classes. It's supposed to be a really simple program and I know I'm making some kind of small mistake. The program compilies but when I run it, input the seed value and number of tosses, I get nothing but 0's as the output.

My suspicion is that I'm somehow doing an integer divided by integer thing. In my calculation for the percentage of 8's I even put 100.0 to try to get rid of any integer problems. Please help.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>

int main(void)
{
        /* Declare variables and function prototypes */
        unsigned int seed;
        int rand_int(int a, int b);
        int tosses, k, dice_1, dice_2, total=0;

        /* Get seed value from user */
        printf("Input seed: \n");
        scanf("%u" ,&seed);
        srand(seed);

        /* Get number of tosses from user */
        printf("Enter the number of tosses: \n");
        scanf("%i" ,&tosses);

        /* Simulate rolls of the dice */
        for (k=1; k<=tosses; k++)
        {
                dice_1 = rand_int(1,6);
                dice_2 = rand_int(1,6);
                if (dice_1+dice_2 == 8)
                        total++;
        }

        /* Compute the percentage and print the number */
        /* of 8's rolled                               */
        printf("The number of 8's are: %5i \n",total);
        printf("The percent of 8's are: %5.2f \n",total*100.0/tosses);

        /* Exit Program */
        return 0;
}

/*******************************************************/
/* This function generates a random integer between    */
/* specefied limits a and b (a<b).                     */

int rand_int(int a, int b)
{
        return rand()%(b-a+1) + a;
}

You have an interesting definition of "0":

Code:

Input seed:
17
Enter the number of tosses:
255
The number of 8's are:    32
The percent of 8's are: 12.55

Don't know why you are not getting the output

see what i did with your program

[rocky@localhost test]$ ./a.out
Input seed:
123
Enter the number of tosses:
345
The number of 8's are: 27
The percent of 8's are: 7.83

wow seriously? I don't know what happened. I used putty ssh, gcc compilied then ran my hw5.out file and put the inputs in and got 0's. Thank you for confirming that it works, I guess I'll just turn it in now.

edit: yeah I just tried it out again and it works. I feel like an idiot. Sorry for wasting your time guys. Thanks again!

You were probably running an old build. thinking it was the current or something.
