something wrong wit my code as it keep repeating "Sorry, Insufficient Points To Play A Game" when the points in enter less than 80.(infinite loops) and any ideas how to make it prompt the user to key in any num to cont roll the dice or exit the program by entering the sentinel? i try something at de line 33 but it seems like not working.

You need to "catch" the return value of some of those functions you have.

sum=firstThrowResult();
sum+=secondThrowResult();

Sum is "catching" the value returned by firstThrowResult(). That's the kind of thing you need to be doing on functions that return results that you need.

err....right not de prob i facing is de infinite loop once de points i enter is less den 80 and when de points got deducted till less den 80....once it is below 80 de statement "sorry Insufficient point to play a game" keep repeating till none stop...

*sry if i don get yr points....juz started programming class =="
