Question

For this program you will write a Java program that plays the dice game High-Low. In this game a player places a bet on whether the sum of two dice will come up High (totalling 8 or higher), Low (totalling 6 or less) or Sevens (totalling exactly 7). If the player wins, he receives a payout based on the schedule given in the table below:

The player will start with $100 for wagering. If the player chooses to wager $0 or if he runs out of money, the program should end. Otherwise it should ask him whether he's wagering on High, Low or Sevens, display the results of the die rolls, and update his money total accordingly.

This is a sample transcript of what your program should do. Items inboldare user input and should not be put on the screen by your program.

Explanation / Answer

import java.util.Random;
import java.util.Scanner;


public class DiceGame {

public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {

int curAmount = 100; //dollars
Scanner recorder = new Scanner(System.in);
Random randomGenerator = new Random();

while(curAmount == 0) {
System.out.println("You have "+curAmount+"dollars");

System.out.println("Enter an amount to bet (0 to quit): ");
int betAmount = recorder.nextInt();
if(betAmount == 0) {
System.out.println("Good bye!");
System.exit(0);
}
System.out.println("Enter High, low or sevens (H/L/S)");
char option = (char) recorder.nextByte();
int dice1 = randomGenerator.nextInt(6)+1;
System.out.println("Die 1 rolls: "+dice1);
int dice2 = randomGenerator.nextInt(6)+1;
System.out.println("Die 2 rolls: "+dice2);
System.out.println("Total of two dice is:: "+(dice1+dice2));

int total = (dice1+dice2);
if((option == 'H' || option == 'h')) {
if(total >= 8) {
System.out.println("You won "+betAmount+" dollars");
curAmount += betAmount;
} else {
System.out.println("You lost!");
curAmount -= betAmount;
}
} else if((option == 'L' || option == 'l')) {
if(total <= 6) {
System.out.println("You won "+betAmount+" dollars");
curAmount += betAmount;
} else {
System.out.println("You lost!");
curAmount -= betAmount;
}
} else if((option == 'S' || option == 's')) {
if(total == 7) {
System.out.println("You won "+ (4 * betAmount) +" dollars");
curAmount += 4 * betAmount;
} else {
System.out.println("You lost!");
curAmount -= betAmount;
}
}
}
