Java question

[Pyro]

This is a quick homework question
I want to write an int statement that represents a dice that has 6 sides.
How would I write it?
int Dice1 = ?
I want to know how I would get this so it would have 6 sides in total
Thankss

6? I'm not exactly sure what your asking. If your seeing sides, 6 would be fine since it has 6 sides.

I need it so that the Dice has 6 sides, and when I make something to roll it, the dice would land on either 1-6

int i = 0;
Random rand = new Random();
i = rand.nextInt(5) + 1;

I dont know if that's what your looking for, but what it does is sets int i to a random integer from 1-5

int i = 0;
Random rand = new Random();
i = rand.nextInt(5) + 1;

I do think that is what I was looking for
Thanks!

Set it to 6 and then in the random do nextInt(dice1)+1

Thanks, going to try and test it out!

Nice but this would also work (it's only one line):

int diceRoll = new Random().nextInt(6) + 1;

 

[JustRayz]

That will do 1-5, 0-5 would be without the +1 and 1-6 would be nextInt(6)+1

tmw> you read it wrong...

That will do 1-5

You sure? I'm no Java mastermind but wouldn't 5 be the Max value?

Nah, he wants a dice that rolls 1 - 6. To get that, he is correct by doing +1 at the end since it will increment each by 1 making 5 into 6 and 0 into 1 etc.

 

[Ammar T]

Yeah, I know that. Please read the OP post I quoted.

Ahh, sorry misread. The quote isn't fully posted and so I was confused

 

[morganjp]

How did I read it wrong? You said it will do 0-5

Let's just all agree that we're bad at reading stuff properly. As I just discovered.

Agreed.

Basically Walshy i meant I read it wrong.. i thought he said 1-5. Oops :?
