Question

C++ language (how to get the dices to roll randomly?)

Use the following description of the game of dice to solve the attached puzzle.

What are dice or what is a die – the singular form of dice?

A die is a cube of some hard, durable material, usually white in color. On each face of a die are a number of spots, usually black in color, arranged symmetrically on the face, each face having a different number of spots, ranging in number from one to six.

One player plays until he wins or loses. The player tosses a pair of dice on the ground and counts the number of spots on the upper most faces of the dice.

A player either wins or loses, as craps allows no tie games. The game ends as soon as a player wins or loses. A player wins, loses or defines his point on the first toss of the dice. A player who defines his point continues to toss the dice until he wins or loses.

A player who tosses 7 or 11 on the first toss wins. A player who tosses 2, 3 or 12 loses on the first toss. A player who tosses anything else defines his point and tosses until he tosses his point again and wins or tosses 7 and loses.

Fixed all issue from your code

basically die is rolled by getting a number from uniform distribution.

Here is simpler solution

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
srand(time(NULL));
// puzzle begins
int roll_count = 1;
int die1 = rand()%6;
int die2 = rand()%6;
int die_sum = die1 + die2;
cout << "You rolled " << die_sum << " (" << die1 << " and " << die2 << ")"
<< " on roll " << roll_count << endl;
  
if (die_sum == 7 || die_sum == 11) {
cout << "You win on the first roll";
} else if (die_sum == 2 || die_sum == 3 || die_sum == 12) {
cout << "You lose on the first roll";
} else {
int point = die_sum;
cout << "Your point is " << point << endl;
do {
die1 = rand()%6;
die2 = rand()%6;
die_sum = die1 + die2;
  
roll_count++;
cout << "You rolled " << die_sum << " (" << die1 << " and " << die2 << ")"
<< " on roll " << roll_count << endl;
if (die_sum == 7) {
cout << "You lose on roll " << roll_count << endl;
}
else if (die_sum == point)
{
cout << "You win on roll " << roll_count << endl;
}
else {
cout << "Roll again!" << endl;
}
} while (die_sum != 7 && die_sum != point);
}
// puzzle ends
cout << endl;
// system("pause");
return 0;
}
