Problem: How many times must I will I need to throw two dice to get three 2’s, three 3’s, three 4’s, three 5’s, three 6’s, three 7’s, three 8’s, three 9’s, three 10’s, three 11’s and three 12’s.
Write a program that will roll two dice over and over until it has rolled three of each numbers.
a. Create instance variables for the counts for each possible value.
b. Create a function that will roll the two dice and return the sum of the two dice.
c. Create a procedure that will display the two dice
d. Create a function called Triples that will check the number of times each number has been rolled and return true if each one is greater than 3, otherwise return false.
e. The play event handler should contain a while loop that will continue to roll dice until Triples returns true and then print how many times the loop had to be executed to achieve the goal.
Can someone help me code this point me in the right direction i beleive i have most of it done just having problems with the Triples function*
