DICE problem!

can someone help me with a small problem on a dice
game?
i have 2 dices or dice!?don't really know the plural:o and want to throw them
once i have thrown them i want to keap one as it is and
throw the second one again!
i have started with some code:
#include<iostream.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<time.h>

int DICE1()
{
int nDice=rand()%6+1;
cout<<nDice;
return 0;}

int DICE2()
{
int nDice=rand()%6+1;

cout<<nDice;
return 0;}
main()
{
srand((unsigned)time(NULL));
DICE1();
DICE2();
return 0;}

i would apriciate your help!

Like this?

main()
{
srand((unsigned)time(NULL));
DICE1();
DICE2();
DICE2();
return 0;}

NO

THAT would just loop up a nother random number

>>i want to keap one as it is and
throw the second one again! <<

So what is it you wanted?

ok
i'll give u an example:

let's say the first dices number is a 3 and the second a 4
now i want the player to choose wich dice he wants to keep as it is ex.the first dice which was number 3.
now the first dice number is still a 3 right?.
then the player has to throw just dice number 2 not the first dice

the program will ask:
cout<<"which dice do u want to keep";
cin>>thefirst****indice;
cout<<"u choose thefirstmoth..........**indice";
dice1=stillasitwas;
dice2=loopagain;

you see what i mean now?

Add two int's to hold the dice returns.
int iDice[2]={0,0}; or int iDice1=0,iDice2=0;
Rename the function DICE() from DICE1() and DICE2() as no need to repeat the code.

add to DICE() a return nDice; instead of return 0;

after the user has told you which dice they want to keep call DICE() to reroll the other

iDice[0]=DICE();
iDice[1]=DICE();
//find user choice (store as iChoice)
iDice[0]=iChoice;
iDice[1]=DICE();

PS I think the plural IS dice (of die)

.

Why do you have effectively the same function twice?
Store two numbers:

Code:

---

main ()
{
  int i;
  int d[2];

  for (i = 0; i < 2; i++)
      d [i] = dice ();

  d [1] = dice ();
}
 

int dice (void)
{
  return rand () % 6 + 1;
}

---

no no ... You "roll the dice" and you "can't roll a 1 sided die."

not picking at grammar, just thought you'd like to know :)
