Problem statement

Write a Python program to design a dice throw function.

Solution overview

Here, we are going to build a dice() function using Python. The program is so simple as an introductory program for defining a function. The function is going to use an inbuilt library naming random. This random library helps us to choose a random value of the variable within the range.

Designing a dice throw function

To design a dice-throw function, use the random.choice() method and pass the list of the numbers between 1 to 6, when the function is called, it will return a random value between 1 to 6 which will be the number of the dice of throwing.

Consider the below statement:

random.choice([1,2,3,4,5,6])

The above function will choose a random value with a probability of 0.167 each i.e. all are independent to each other which will work as dice.

Python program to design a dice throw function

import random

# function definition "dice"
# it will return a random value from 1 to 6
def dice():
    return random.choice([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])

# main code
print("DICE THREW : ", dice())
print("DICE THREW : ", dice())
print("DICE THREW : ", dice())
print("DICE THREW : ", dice())
print("DICE THREW : ", dice())
print("DICE THREW : ", dice())
print("DICE THREW : ", dice())
print("DICE THREW : ", dice())
print("DICE THREW : ", dice())
print("DICE THREW : ", dice())

Output

The output of the above program is:

RUN 1:
DICE THREW :  5  
DICE THREW :  3  
DICE THREW :  5  
DICE THREW :  4  
DICE THREW :  3  
DICE THREW :  5  
DICE THREW :  3  
DICE THREW :  3  
DICE THREW :  4  
DICE THREW :  6 

RUN 2:
DICE THREW :  6
DICE THREW :  5
DICE THREW :  2
DICE THREW :  1
DICE THREW :  4
DICE THREW :  2
DICE THREW :  2
DICE THREW :  1
DICE THREW :  2
DICE THREW :  2
