Thread: Calling a toss dice method

I wrote a method to toss dice (in it, I used another method--the rollDice method), and I want to know how to call it in the main method, because I'm completely confused on that section! Any help would be great! Here's the method:

//Toss dice
   public static int tossDice(int sum){
       Random rand = new Random();
       int tries = 0;
       while (sum != 7 && sum != 11) {
       // Roll the dice method
       int roll1 = rollDice();
       int roll2 = rollDice();
       sum = roll1 + roll2;
       System.out.println(roll1 + " + " + roll2 + " = " + sum + ".");
       tries++;
       }
       System.out.println("You won after " + tries + " tries!");
       System.out.println("You rolled a sum of " +sum+ ".");
       return sum; 
   }

Thank you!

You call rollDice() just fine in the tossDice() method. I don't understand what you're asking about calling rollDice() in or from the main() method. Why would you? Have you written rollDice()? Where is it?

I've written rollDice() already! But that's not the problem. What I've posted is a method I've written on my own. My assignment asks me to write my own method (done that) and call it in the main method. I'm asking how I'd call the method I've written above. What would I write to call it?

Something like:

public static void main (String[] args)
{
    // define sum, . . .
 
    // . . . and then call the method:
    tossDice( sum );
}
