How do you roll a dice in Java?
Short answer. int d = (int)(Math.random() * 6) + 1;
What is the general rule?
Multiply by max - min + 1, cast to int, then add min.
Remember
| (int)(random * size) + min |
| size = max - min + 1 |
Math dot random gives zero to one. How do we get one to six? Times six gives zero to below six. Cast to int gives zero to five. Plus one gives one to six. Remember. Multiply by the size, cast, then add min.
