The player will start out with a $10.00 bank. Each time he (or she) guesses incorrectly you will subtract $1.00 from their bank. Each time they guess correct, you add $100.00 to their bank. Print the total winnings or loss at the end of the game. [Each die toss is simulated using die = (int)(rand() % 6) + 1;] Your program should look something like this: Your bank is $10.00 Please enter your guess for the next roll. It only costs $1.00 to play, If you are correct I will pay you $100.00: 6 Sorry, the dice rolled a 5. continue? y Your bank is $9.00 Please enter your guess for the next roll. It only costs $1.00 to play, If you are correct I will pay you $100.00: 4 Winner! the dice rolled a 4. continue? n Thanks for playing your bank is $109.00. Come back real soon basically this is what I have to do... Taking this class online soo this stuff is kind of difficult to follow... Thanks for the help

just do a minor tweak for your last code.

notice that I put the rolling dice part into another function to make it easier. this should do the trick :

cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;

char die(char,int *);

int main(void)
{
    int money = 10;
    char exit='Y';
	
    srand(time(0));
	
	while(exit=='Y' || exit=='y'){
		cout<<endl<<"Your bank is $" <<money<<endl;
		exit = die(exit, &money);
	};
	
	cout<<endl<<"Thanks for playing your bank is $"<<money<<". Come back real soon"<<endl;
	
    cin.get ();
    return 0;
}

char die(char exit, int *money){
	*money = *money-1;
	int num;
	int die;
	die=(int)(rand()%6)+1;

	cout<<endl<<"Please enter your guess for the next roll. It only costs $1.00 to play. If you are correct I will pay you $100.00:" <<endl;
	cin>>num;

	if (die == num)
	{
		cout<<"Winner. The dice rolled a "<<die<<endl;
		*money += 100;
	}
	else if(die != num)
	{
		cout<<"Sorry. The dice rolled a "<<die<<endl;
	}

	cout<<"Press 'Y' to continue. Continue?"<<endl;
	cin>>exit;
	return exit;
}
