comparing dice
Hello, i am new to the forum, and programming in general.
I picked up "C for dummies 2nd edition" as an ebook, and have been working my way through it, using code::blocks.
Almost done with my initial read through, then i will go back and reread in-depth. So far, i have managed to make a entire yahtzee game, minus the scoring. Could some one show an example of a decent way to compare dice (which are stored as a array)?
I will post my code that i have done so far:
