    Default Beginner Do-While Loop help please?

    Greetings, I am new to Java Programming

    I need to create a simply application that would display the results of two dice thrown five times and the total of those results. This is shown below in the attached file.

    The problem is, I have a do-while loop that loops 6 times. Inside the loop, I have 2 random.nextInt(5) that generate random numbers. But how can I output the total? How can I make a variable equal to the sum of the two random numbers if the two random numbers are located inside a do-while loop?

    Attached below is also the code I have thus far, please look at it and help me!

    Thanks in advance! and Sorry if I wrote it in a confusing fashion!

    (Attached below is both files: what it needs to look like, and what it currently looks like)

    If your loop needs to run a certain amount of times, you should look into for loops.
    And an array is a good place to store variables.
    English is not my native language (Typo alert).
