Thread: *Java Assignment*

This is the assignment that I need help to do:

Assignment Background
It's time for the Java Olympics, the biggest java extravaganza in Java Town, with not 1, but 2 Java events! Who will win gold? It could be you!

Event 1: Math Functions
Write a program that simulates the tossing of two dice. Toss the die, display what each dice displays and display the total of the two die. Have this program continue until a 7 or 11 is the total roll.

Event 2: String Functions
Ask the user to input two strings. Display the strings in alphabetical order. Calculate and display the number of characters in the two words. Next convert the first string to all uppercase and the second string to all lowercase. Display the resulting strings.

***The Bonus Event:
Ask the user to input a sentence. Count the number of spaces in the sentence to determine the number of words entered. Output the number of characters in the sentence, the number of words in the sentence and the average number of characters per word.

Can anyone help me??!!!!

I have no idea of how to start....><

What should I do next.....??

import java.util.*;

public class Dice {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Random rand = new Random();
int tries = 0;

int sum = 0;
while (sum != 7 or 11) {
// roll the dice once
int roll1 = rand.nextInt(6) + 1;
int roll2 = rand.nextInt(6) + 1;
sum = roll1 + roll2;
System.out.println(roll1 + " + " + roll2 + " = " + sum);
tries++;
}

System.out.println("You won after " + tries + " tries!");
}
}

This code is the dice section. I don't know whether this code is right or not... This is the first step of the assignment (regarding the dice).

The only problem I can see in your first code is the while statement. It would read something like this

while (sum != 7 && sum != 11)

Other than that it looks like you're doing pretty well.
