Question

Write a fourth game program that evaluates the random distribution of a die. The game should first prompt the client for a number of die throws that he would like. The game then throws the die that many times. The game records the number of times each die number appears on top and calculates the average for the six values. The program then computes the percent difference between the average and the number for each die face value. •Use methods to simplify the code. •Guarantee the number entered is not less than zero . •Proper comments and formating are expected, include pre and post conditions. •Allow the client to repeat the game as many times as she wishes. A sample output is shown below: This game requests a number from the player.The game then throws the dice that number of times.The game then displays the percentage difference between the number for each dice face value and the average. Please enter the number of times that you would like the computer to throw the dice. 600 The number of throws is 600 with the average of 100. The percentage from the average for each dice number is: Dice number 1 landed 90 times and is 10% below the average. Dice number 2 landed 106 times and is 6% above the average. Dice number 3 landed 104 times and is 4% above the average. Dice number 4 landed 95 times and is 5% below the average. Dice number 5 landed 112 times and is 12% above the average. Dice number 6 landed 93 times and is 7% below the average. Would you like to play the game again? Please enter (yes/no)

I have this so far but its giving me an error:
