Inside loop use if condition and counter: if(dice lands on 6) counter++

Declare an int e.g "counter" and initialise it to 0 (zero) outside the loop, inside the loop, increment the counter if the dice is 6.

Not sure if mine is any better that your version...but this is what i came up with: int counter = 0; for(int a= 0; a < 1000; a++) { int mynum = (int)(Math.random() * 6 + 1); if(mynum == 6) counter++; } System.out.print("Count of six's is " + counter);

I made a quick example of this were you can pick any number between 1-6 and shows you the results. 👍 https://code.sololearn.com/cj9H9BAaGlQB/?ref=app
