Question

Can someone please help me with the following coding given based on the instructions (//*** in bold)? I am not sure on how to go about it here. Just as a side note, this is coding that is going to be used for a working Yahtzee program. I am also using the IntelliJ IDEA application for this code. Thanks for the help!

public static int calculateUpperSectionCategory(int dieNumber) {

int score = 0;

//***
//*** INSTRUCTIONS FOR CODE FOR YOU TO WRITE
//***
//*** 1) Replace these five if-statement structures with the code in Steps 2 & 3:
//***
//***     if (die1 == dieNumber)
//***         score += die1;
//***
//***     if (die2 == dieNumber)
//***         score += die2;
//***
//***     if (die3 == dieNumber)
//***         score += die3;
//***
//***     if (die4 == dieNumber)
//***         score += die4;
//***
//***     if (die5 == dieNumber)
//***         score += die5;
//***
//*** 2) In place of the code in Step 1, write a for-loop that iterates over every element in the array variable "dice".
//***
//*** 3) Code block for the for-loop in Step 2:
//***     A) Using the for-loop's control variable as an index into array variable "dice", write an if-statement that checks the value of each element in the array variable "dice" for "equality to" parameter variable "dienumber".
//***     B) If the condition in Step 3A evaluates to true, then accumulate the value of that die into variable "score".
//***
//*** NOTE: 1) Array variable "dice" replaces all of the individual die variables (e.g. die1, die2, etc).
//***             2) You are replacing the five if-statement structures that use the individual die variables with a for-loop that contains a nested if-statement structure that references into array variable "dice".
//***
//*** This can be as few as three lines of code not including any curly braces.
//***
