Hello. I am pretty new to C and I am in CIS 150. My Lab requires that I write a program to roll a single die 150 times and count how many times each side is rolled. example: 1 rolled 10 times, 2 rolled 25 times,...etc. I have a for loop to roll the die and get the random rolls but I cannot figure out how to count the rolls and then write a code to express it in percentages. Any thoughts would help.
Have you considered an array that has a size of the number of "sides" of your die to hold the "count" for each "side".

Prof will not let us use code we have not covered in class. He only wants us to use while and for loops to randomize the dice, calculate the number of times each side lands and calculate the percentage.

Then how about separate variables, each representing one side of the die, to count the occurrence of each?

And just how do you expect us to know what you have (or haven't) been taught so far, never mind the subset of that which you managed to learn.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
I suggest writing the code that you do know how to write and are allowed to use.
I suggest reading the homework policy on this site; we are NOT going to do your homework!!
Edit: I suggest reading this FAQ
For, While and Do While Loops in C - Cprogramming.com
Because, I do NOT think you really know what a for loop does based on your OP.
