Question

I have code that finds the runs in a random set of integers and surrounds them with parens. It is a little messed up though because if a run is at the end like 547(887) it puts the paren around the last number as well as the ones in the run. Can you fix this for me?

Thanks

import java.util.Random;
public class Run
{
   public static void main(String[] arg)
   {    
      int [] die = new int [20];
       Random rand = new Random();
      for (int i = 0; i < die.length; i++) {
        die[i] = rand.nextInt(6) + 1;
      }
        boolean inRun = false;
        for (int i = 0; i < die.length - 1; i++) {
           if (inRun) {
               if (die[1] != die[i - 1]) {
                   System.out.print(")");
                   inRun = false;
               }
           }
               if (!inRun) {
                   if (die[i] == die[i +1]){
                       System.out.print("(");
                       inRun = true;
                   }
                       System.out.print(die[i]);
                 
                 
               }
           }

        if (inRun) {
            System.out.print(die[die.length - 1]);
            System.out.print(")");
        }
        else {
            System.out.print(die[die.length - 1]);
        }
         }
}
