randomization code

[crazysaint]

i would like to come up with two codes in ASP that will

 

a) simulate the throeing of a dice: when run it should display the face value of the dice(between 1 and 6)

 

b)then also i would like to come up with another code  that shows that all faces have equal liklihood of being shown.(should throw it for about 6000 times). i know it has something to do with using a counter for eah face and increment as it wins.

hmmm maybe  you should try an asp forum.

 

in php this may help (assumes you really want to do the 6000 throws)...

$throw = rand(1,6);
echo $throw;

$throwarr = array();
for($i = 0; $i < 6000; $i++)
{
$throwarr[] = rand(1,6);
}

$numbers = array_unique($throwarr);

$tally = array();
foreach ($numbers as $val)
{
$tally[$val] = count(array_keys($throwarr,$val));
}

print_r($tally);
