Thread: Dice Function..

I will offer ye' one method:

first.. create pair of dice:

Code:

struct PairOfDice
{
     int dice_1;
     int dice_2;
}

let's prototype a dice roll function that will handle this new 'PairOfDice' data type..

Code:

PairOfDice* roll_the_dice(PairOfDice &DiceStruct) ;

in your int main( ) function, declare an object of type PairOfDice:

Code:

PairOfDice *myDice ;

then, when you are ready.. roll the dice..!

Code:

myDice = roll_the_dice(myDice) ;

and now you have.. a pair o' dice

Code:

cout << "Roll 1 is:  "  <<  myDice->dice_1 ;
cout << "Roll 2 is:  "  <<  myDice->dice_2 ;

Now.. all you have to do is write up the function definition.. not too hard.. just randomly set the two attributes of the 'PairOfDice' object.

OOP goodness

what? you've never rolled 2 dice and got the same result on each die?

besides that wasn't what the OP was asking at all.

OP, I could tell you how to write a function which uses rand to return a value between 1 and 6, but I'd prefer you to try yourself first.

Hint: you'll need to use the % modulo operator (aka the remainder operator).

my bad.. i misread that

my posts are like a work in progress usually
