    Question help with coding dice game

    Good evening, I am trying to code a rolling dice game. As of right now, I am just trying to figure out how to roll two dice randomly at a time. Here is my code so far


    I am not sure how to return the sum of the two dice, or if I am even supposed to do it that way. Any help would be appreciated!



    import java.util.Random;
    public class TwentyOne{

    public static void main(String[] args) {

    int dice1;
    int dice2;

    welcome();
    rollingDice(int dice1,int dice2);


    }

    public static void welcome() {
    System.out.println("Welcome to the game of Twenty-One! FEELING LUCKY?! goodluck!");

    }

    public static int rollingDice(int dice1, int dice2) {

    dice1 = (int)(Math.random()*6 + 1);
    dice2 = (int)(Math.random()*6 + 1);
    int sum = dice1 + dice2;
    return sum;

    }

    }

    You need to assign a variable to get the return value
    int sum = rollingDice(int dice1,int dice2);
    Whatever you are, be a good one

    Have you tried to compile the code? What error messages do you get?
    Please copy the full text and paste it here.

    When posting code be sure to wrap your code with code tags:

    [code]
    **YOUR CODE GOES HERE**
    [/code]

    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
