The entire point of this dice game is for a user to first roll four dice, if the answer to this roll is a 9,11,18 or 24 the user wins. If they roll a 6, 12, 13, 17, 19 or 23 the user loses. But if the user rolls any other number, that number becomes the goal number and they must roll it again to win, otherwise they roll a 13 and lose. I have most of this code established and functioning - the goal number is a little sketchy but more importatnly there is one more part of the code that I don't understand. For the final part of this code it is required that the user type either "1" to play the game manually as is or instead type "2" to let the computer play the game and the user is to input the amount of times for the computer to play, so basically how many times it shoud loop, displaying the results each time. Any help in understanding this would be greatly appreciated, I'm at a loss.

//This is a programn used to simulate a dice game where four dice are rolled. If the numbers 9, 11, 18 or 24 are rolled the player wins. If 6, 12, 13, 17, 19 or 23 are rolled the player loses. Any other number rolled becomes the new goal number and must be rolled again in order to win.
