Well, what part did you need help with?

You will need a for-loop and an array of counters.

Um, working on your grammar would make this easier to read but...

have something like

Turing:

loop
randint(randomnum,125)
total := total + randomnum
exit when total >= 1000
end loop

I believe the objective is 'create 1000 random numbers between 0 and 25 and count how many of each number (ie 1's, 2's, 3's, 4's, etc) there are'.

Don't use randint, it is annoying to see and Rand.Int is better. it works like
code:
randNum := Rand.Int (0, 25)


You will need an array 0..25 of int. Use a for loop that runs 1000 times (for x: 0..1000). Then generate a number using Rand.Int(). substitute it into the index of the array (<arrayName>(randNum) += 1), and you're done!

Parker, try not to give the answer.
