//First Example

//This program counts how many times

//it takes until a die rolls with the number

//that the user input

#include<iostream>

#include<cstdlib>

#include<ctime>

using namespace std;

int rollDie(int);

int main()

{

int times,number;

cout << "Which number do you want (1-6)?";

}

//Example 2

//User inputs the sum of the two dice

//this program simulates the rolling of two dice

//counting how many times it takes until the sum

//is equal to the user input
