    Default Re: Game of Craps: won't compile

    Why won't it compile? What are the compiler errors?...the compiler errors usually tell you enough to fix the these things quickly. Without going through all the code I can see at least one error in your rollDie method (where did the variable die come from)

    [code]
    the professor provided us with the code necessary to create a die class, which I have tested and does work. So in my program it calls the die from that class. The compile errors vary, eveything works fine from main to the rules, from there the program won't run.

    public class Die 
    {
     
            private final int MIN_NUMBER = 1;
            private final int MAX_NUMBER = 6;
            private final int NO_NUMBER = 0;
     
          int number;
     
            public Die()
            {
                number = NO_NUMBER;
            }
           public void roll()
            {
                number = (int) Math.floor(Math.random()*(MAX_NUMBER - MIN_NUMBER + 1)) +1;
            }
            public int getNumber()
            {   
                return number;
            }
     
        }
    here the die class for the above game of craps
    I don't know where to begin to get this program to work.
    any help would be appreciated
    thanks FreeBird

    Any luck with this freebird. I'm having similar issues and I believe I'm writing the exact same program. I'm not sure where to go from here.

    Default Yea, professor Gordon as well

    I tried getting tutor help through Wimba, I don't like that program at all, very hard to hear or understand from the other end. Would you share any tips you get from the tutors even if it is too late, I would like to know how to make this program work. Thanks FreeBird[/QUOTE]
