Question

//Write a method named diceSum that prompts the user for a desired sum, then repeatedly rolls two six-sided dice until their sum is the desired sum.
// not sum why it keeps repeating the same number for sum when sum should not be the same all the time since its a random roll.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class sumDie
{
public static void main(String [] args )
{
int dsum;



Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println( " Enter in a desired sum when rolling two die");
dsum=scan.nextInt();

Die d1= new Die();
Die d2 = new Die();
int sum= d1.roll()+ d2.roll();

int c=1;

while (c<=1000000){

if(sum!=dsum)
System.out.println(sum);
else
System.out.println();

c++;}
}
}

Explanation / Answer

please rate - thanks

you asked for a method, nothing about a class, so I got rid of your class. can add it if needed

import java.util.Scanner;

public class sumDie
{
public static void main(String [] args )
{diceSum();
}
public static void diceSum()
{
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
int dsum,d1,d2,sum,c=0;
System.out.println( " Enter in a desired sum when rolling two die");
dsum=scan.nextInt();
do
{
d1=(int)(Math.random() * 6) +1;
d2=(int)(Math.random() * 6) +1;
System.out.println("Your roll "+d1+" and "+d2);
sum= d1+ d2;
c++;
}while(sum!=dsum);
System.out.println("it took "+c+" rolls to get the desired amount");
}
}
