While the result of each throw is independent of all rolls that have come before, we can still calculate the odds of rolling any given number between 2 and 12. This program will calculate those odds by generating a large number (100,000) of random values (i.e. "rolling the dice") and storing the results in an array.

- Consider rolling two six-sided dice. While the result of each throw is independent of all rolls that have come before, we can still calculate the odds of rolling any given number between 2 and 12. This program will calculate those odds by generating a large number (100,000) of random values (i.e. "rolling the dice") and storing the results in an array. When all values have been rolled, we will display the results (counts and odds to 2 decimal places) to the user.
In Lab 5, sample code was provided for generating a random number. In this lab, I've provided a header file for you to include, getRandomLib.h, which lets you get all kinds of random things.
We need some functions:- void displayMessage(); //hello, goodbye, etc.
- int rollDice(); //returns a number between 2 and 12 (by rolling two dice and summing the result)
- void displayResults(int[]); //displays results in the array
HINT: Make sure to initialize counters before starting loop
HINT: To calculate odds: odds = count * 100 / NUM_ROLLS;
- Header comments must be present
- Prototypes must be present if functions are used
- Hello and goodbye messages must be shown
- Array(s) must be used for implementation
- Results should be formatted neatly (2 decimal places for odds, decimals lined up, etc.)
- Use comments and good style practices
Make sure to #include "getRandomLib.h". Download the attached header file and place in same location as your program.
SAMPLE OUTPUT: Welcome! This program will calculate the odds of rolling 2 - 12 with two 6-sided dice.Number of 2s rolled: 270 ( 2.70%) Number of 3s rolled: 556 ( 5.56%) Number of 4s rolled: 814 ( 8.14%) Number of 5s rolled: 1136 (11.36%) Number of 6s rolled: 1379 (13.79%) Number of 7s rolled: 1705 (17.05%) Number of 8s rolled: 1397 (13.97%) Number of 9s rolled: 1140 (11.40%) Number of 10s rolled: 818 ( 8.18%) Number of 11s rolled: 532 ( 5.32%) Number of 12s rolled: 253 ( 2.53%)
