rollSix

Language/Type: Java method basics Random while
Author: Marty Stepp (on 2020/04/08)

Write a method named rollSix that simulates the repeated rolling of one six-sided die until a six is rolled. You should use a Random object to give an equal chance of rolling a one through six. Each time the die is rolled, you should display the number seen. When you roll a six, you should print the number of trials taken. An example output of a call to rollSix is shown below: 

Rolled: 3
Rolled: 1
Rolled: 6
You got a six in 3 turns!
