Dice rolling program using set and get methods in Java

Question

I am trying to write a program that creates two objects /instances of a class (Dice) to simulate a pair of dice. The program should simulate the rolling of the 2 dice and display their values using the OutputDice method.

The Value field holds the value of the dice. The SetValue method stores a value in the Value field.The GetValue method returns the value of the dice. The Roll method that generates a random number in the range of 1 through 6 for the value of the die. The OutputDice method output the value of the dice as text.

I realize that the following code is horribly incomplete but I cannot figure out how to encapsulate the random function into the output.

My two classes are as follows:

import java.util.Random;
public class Dice {
 private int Value;
 public void setValue(int diceValue) {
 Value = diceValue;
 }
 public int getValue() {
 return Value;
 }
 public void roll() {
 //I am not sure how to structure this section
 }
}

and

import java.util.Random;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class DiceRollOutput {
 public static void main(String[]args) {
 String firstDie;
 String secondDie;
 int firstNumber;
 int secondNumber;
 Scanner diceRoll = new Scanner(System.in);
 Random Value = new Random();
 firstNumber = Value.nextInt(6)+1;
 secondNumber = Value.nextInt(6)+1;
 }
}

• betontalpfa: Please describe more details of your classes and what is the question exactly.
• Abhishekkumar: //I am not sure how to structure this section . For generating random dice values you can use Random Class in java

Answer 1

Generate the random integers in the Dice class instead of the main method.

import java.lang.Math;
import java.util.Random;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Dice {
 private int value;
 public void setValue(int diceValue) {
 value = diceValue;
 }
 public int getValue() {
 return value;
 }
 public void roll() {
 //I am not sure how to structure this section
 Random rand = new Random();
 value = rand.nextInt(6) + 1;
 }
}
public class DiceRollOutput {
 public static void main(String[]args) {
 Dice firstDie = new Dice();
 Dice secondDie = new Dice();
 firstDie.roll();
 secondDie.roll();
 System.out.println("Dice 1: "+ firstDie.getValue());
 System.out.println("Dice 2: "+ secondDie.getValue());
 }
}
