Hello I am trying to make a program that "rolls" 5 dice randomly and computes the sum and mean. I have the program running, but it is not working the way I want it to.
The problem I am guessing is in the printf statements where I want to assign that value that is randomly chosen to a variable and then do the math with the variables. Even though it still runs, I can not get the right sum and mean.
Is it possible to do the calculations I want the program to do with the way I am specifying them; or do I need to write a separate function that assigns the random values and then proceeds from there? Thanks
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#define MAX_VAL 6
#define MIN_VAL 1
int
main(void)
{
srand(time(NULL));
printf("Here are five rolled dice:");
int a,b,c,d,e;
printf("%i ", rand() % (MAX_VAL - MIN_VAL + 1) + MIN_VAL, a);
printf("%i ", rand() % (MAX_VAL - MIN_VAL + 1) + MIN_VAL, b);
printf("%i ", rand() % (MAX_VAL - MIN_VAL + 1) + MIN_VAL, c);
printf("%i ", rand() % (MAX_VAL - MIN_VAL + 1) + MIN_VAL, d);
printf("%i \n", rand() % (MAX_VAL - MIN_VAL + 1) + MIN_VAL, e);
int sum;
double average;
sum = a + b + c + d + e;
average = (a + b + c + d + e)/5;
printf("The sum of the dice is %i, and their average is %d.1", sum, average);
