Python Logical Puzzles, Games, and Algorithms: Roll of Dice

Python Homework Solution

Here's a Python program that simulates rolling a pair of dice:
import random

def roll_dice():
    """Simulate rolling a pair of dice."""
    die1 = random.randint(1, 6)
    die2 = random.randint(1, 6)
    total = die1 + die2
    print("You rolled a", die1, "and a", die2, "for a total of", total)
    return total

def main():
    """Main function to play the game."""
    print("Let's roll some dice!")
    total = roll_dice()
    if total == 7 or total == 11:
        print("You win!")
    elif total == 2 or total == 3 or total == 12:
        print("You lose!")
    else:
        print("Your point is", total)
        while True:
            new_total = roll_dice()
            if new_total == total:
                print("You win!")
                break
            elif new_total == 7:
                print("You lose!")
                break

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
The roll_dice() function simulates rolling a pair of dice by generating a random number between 1 and 6 for each die, adding the results, and returning the total. The main() function starts the game, calls roll_dice() to roll the dice, and checks the total. If the total is 7 or 11, the player wins. If the total is 2, 3, or 12, the player loses. Otherwise, the game enters a loop where it continues to roll the dice until either the player wins by rolling the original total again or loses by rolling a 7.
