Thread: Help altering dice program?

Yes that makes sense. I thought the following would fix it, but it just results in another error.

public void multiToss(){
    int score;
    while(minValue(int value)==true)// Change
      score=throwDice();
      scoreboard[score]++;
    }
 
  public boolean minValue(int value){
    for(int j=2;j<13;j++){
      if(scoreboard[j] < value)
        return true;
 
    }

--- Update ---

 public void multiToss(int value){ //contiues to roll dice and keep score while minValue is true
    int score=0;
    while(minValue(value)==true)
      score=throwDice();
      scoreboard[score]++;
    }
 
  public boolean minValue(int value){ //checks the scores. reports true when scoreboard values are less than the entered value, false when the scores are greater than or equal to the entered value
    boolean x=false;
    for(int j=2;j<13;j++){
      if(scoreboard[j] < value)
        x=true;}
      return x;
 
    }

I made some changes and commented the code.
This code produces no output and seems to just run forever

Driver:

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class DiceExperiment{
  public static void main(String[] args){
    String casino=
      JOptionPane.showInputDialog("enter a min value");
    int value=Integer.parseInt(casino);
    Dice d=new Dice();
    d.multiToss(value);
    d.minValue(value);
    d.displayScoreboard();
  }
}

Class:

public class Dice{
  private int[] scoreboard=new int[13];
  public Dice(){
    initializeScoreboard();}
 
  public void initializeScoreboard(){
    for(int j=0;j<13;j++)scoreboard[j]=0;
  }
 
  public int tossDie(){
    return (1+ (int)(6*Math.random()));
  }
 
  public int throwDice(){
    return(tossDie()+tossDie());
  }
 
  public void multiToss(int value){ //contiues to roll dice and keep score while minValue is true
    int score=0;
    while(minValue(value)==true)
      score=throwDice();
      scoreboard[score]++;
    }
 
  public boolean minValue(int value){ //checks the scores. reports true when scoreboard values are less than the entered value, false when the scores are greater than or equal to the entered value
    boolean x=false;
    for(int j=2;j<13;j++){
      if(scoreboard[j] < value)
        x=true;
}
      return x;
 
    }
 
 
 
  public int[] getScoreboard(){return scoreboard;}
 
  public void displayScoreboard(){
    for(int j=2;j<13;j++)
      System.out.println(+ j + " " + scoreboard[j]);
  }
 
}
