Debugging Craps Simulating Game: Tracking Wins & Losses

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on debugging a craps simulation game, specifically the logic for tracking wins and losses after the "come out roll." The code provided outlines how to handle the scenario when a point is established, with conditions for winning or losing based on subsequent rolls of the dice. Key issues include ensuring the correct tracking of wins and losses, as well as properly structuring the loop to continue rolling until a win or loss condition is met. Participants are asked to help organize and refine the code to improve its functionality. The main goal is to accurately simulate the game mechanics and count the outcomes effectively.

Hi ,
I have a problem coding a part of a simulating game:

In the game of craps, a "Pass line" bet proceeds as follows. The first roll of the two, six-sided dice in a craps round is called the "come out roll". The bet immediately wins when the come out roll is 7 or 11, and loses when the come out is 2,3 or 12.
If 4,5,6,8,9 or 10 is rolled on the come out roll, that number becomes " the point". The player keeps rolling the dice until either 7 or the point is rolled. If the point is rolled first, then the player wins the bet. If the player rolls a 7 first, the the player loses.
you need to indicate the total number of wins and losses.


The part that bothers me is the underline part.
This is the code I've done for this underlined part:

Code:
.
.
.
if(roll==4||roll==5||roll==6||roll==8||roll==9||roll==10)//point case
        { 
          cout<<roll<<" points"<<endl;
        do
         {
          roll=dice();//dice- function that simulates the 2 dice throwings
          cout<<endl;
          cout<<"roll "<<roll<<endl;
          if(roll==7)
          cout<<roll<<" the point got to 7. player loses"<<endl;
          if(roll==4||roll==5||roll==6||roll==8||roll==9||roll==10)
          cout<< roll<<" the roll got to 'point'. player wins"<<endl;
         }
          while(roll==7||roll==4||roll==5||roll==6||roll==8||roll==9||roll==10);
       }// end if
.
.
.

Please can you help to organize my code ?
Thank you

This seems to be what you were trying to say.

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'
I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.
