Dice Roll

-----------------------------------

So i'm doing a dice rolling program. I want a single di to roll, and when the same number has been rolled, i want the program to stop and output the number that was rolle twice and the number of rolls it took to get that number to roll twice. I know it's simple. Here is the code I have so far: 


var dice, sum : int
var roll : string
var test : string
var num_rolls : int
var freq : array 1 .. 12 of int
var answer : string

loop
    randomize

    var Num_Rolls : int

    for i : 1 .. 12
        freq (i) := 0
    end for

    for i : 1 .. 12
        dice := Rand.Int (1, 6)
    end for

    put "The number rolled twice was: " ..
    put skip
    put "The number of rolls it took to roll this number twice was: " ..
    put skip
var response: string
    
put "Do you want to roll again? (Y= yes, N= no)"
get response
put skip
exit when response="N" or response="n" or response="NO" or response="no"
end loop


Now the only thing I need help with is the part of the code that knows what number the dice lands on. I know I need to use randomize, but i'm not exactly sure what the code is, and where to put it in my program. Any help I could get wou;d be great! Thanks!

Well, have a variable to keep track of what number  Rand.Int returns, print it out on the screen, and then "roll" the dice again.

just add in "rand.int (x,y)" etc... and add in the useful variables to correspond with your dice rolls.
