Introduction

This is a simulation of rolling dice. We will roll 10,000 times in our program. The theoretical

probability of rolling doubles of a specific number is 1 out of 36 or approximately 278 out of

10,000 times that you roll the pair of dice. Since this is a simulation, the numbers will vary a

little each time you run it. We will start with a while loop, then use the same program, changing

the while loop to a do-while loop, and then a for loop.

Task #1 Loops

1. Copy the file DiceSimulation.java into NetBeans or other Java IDE tools.

2. The double roll of 1s and 2s are given in the code.

3. You follow the style to code for double roll value for 3 6 so all the doubles should be

around 278.

4. Change the while loop to do-while loop and run the program. Result should be similar.

5. Change the while loop to a for loop and run the program. Result should be similar.

This is what I have so far. Not very sure how to write the do-while loop or the for loop...
