I'm making a program to get the average number of dice rolls to get a 6, but there seems to be an issue with the RNG. I suspect it's the seed, as while the number is different each time I compile and run the code, it doesn't change in each individual attempt, so the average doesn't change. Heres my code:
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib> // random numbers header file//
#include <ctime> // used to get date and time information
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int roll = 0; //declare a variable to keep store the random number
int i = 0;
int counter = 0;
int resume = 1;
int average = 0;
int totalrolls = 0;
srand(time(0)); //initialise random num generator using time
while (resume != 0) {
while (roll != 6) {
roll = rand() % 6 + 1; // generate a random number between 1 and 6
i++;
}
counter++;
totalrolls += i;
average = totalrolls / counter;
cout << "the average number of rolls to get a 6 is " << average << ", based on " << counter << " sixes." << endl;
cout << "do you wish to keep rolling? ";
cin >> resume;
cout << endl;
}
return 0;
}
Anyone got any idea what's going on?
