WJ --- Rather than continually posting these contrived problems that you most likely are getting out of programming textbooks, why don't you try to duplicate one of my example programs in the novice package? They didn't come from any textbook, so you aren't going to be able to look in the answers section of the textbook to obtain the solution. They are also a lot more interesting than this stuff -- I mean, who cares about adding up the scores of dice rolls?

Am I guessing correctly, that you are a college student? You get all of these programs from your classroom material, don't you?
