Output result in tabular form

FrankRafa (49)
Ok So I am doing an assignment(I will not lie about this..)

And Now I got stuck at the very last bit of it. So my program needs to run the craps game(roll dice.) And now the problem is I have no clue how to save the 1000 times games' result and output them in a tabular form.
This is the specific question.

How many games are won on the 1st roll, 2nd roll, …, 20th roll, and after the 20th roll?
How many games are lost on the 1st roll, 2nd roll, …, 20th roll, and after the 20th roll?
And my code is here.

So how I can output the result in table? I appreciate any kind of help but just a sample of how to deal with this will be nice...

As you can see I am being lazy and copying the same process again and again... But I cannot figure out other ways to cope with them...So just bare with me...

Instead of repeating the code over and over and over again, you should do

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
 
int fnum = 1000;
if (selection == 2)
{
	cout << "Choose the times that you want the game to be played: \n(Please input numbers which are greater than 500.)" << endl;
	cin >> fnum;
}
//rest of your code for simulating the games


As for your question, I would keep track of the 2 stats using 2 arrays.

1

int winsOnRoll[21] = {0};
int lossesOnRoll[21] = {0};
//more code
int rolls = 1;
while (CONTINUE == gameStatus)
{
	sumOfDice = rollDice();
	++rolls;

	if (sumOfDice == myPoint)
	{
		gameStatus = WON;
		if (rolls < 21)
			++winsOnRoll[rolls];
		else
			++winsOnRoll[0];
	}
	else if (sumOfDice == 7)
	{
		gameStatus = LOST;
		if (rolls < 21)
			++lossesOnRoll[rolls];
		else
			++lossesOnRoll[0];
	}
}
//more code

I forgot to include the code for wins and losses on the first roll, but you get the picture. You would output the stats like this:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
 
cout << "Wins on roll\n";
for (int i = 1; i < 21; ++i)
    cout << i <<" = " << winsOnRoll[i] << endl;
cout << "21+ = " << winsOnRoll[0] << endl << endl;
cout << "Losses on roll\n";
for (int i = 1; i < 21; ++i)
    cout << i <<" = " << lossesOnRoll[i] << endl;
cout << "21+ = " << lossesOnRoll[0] << endl;

The first roll means the selection 1 right?

I will read through this and try to understand it.
Thanks bro!
