adding two dice - functions

[patropatropatro]

This is my function:

void displayDice()
{
	int dieRoll = distribution(generator);//randomly generates a number from 1 to 6

	if (dieRoll == 1)
	{
		cout << " ------- " << endl;
		cout << "|       |" << endl;
		cout << "|   o   |" << endl;
		cout << "|       |" << endl;
		cout << " ------- " << endl;
	}
	else if (dieRoll == 2)
	{
		cout << " ------- " << endl;
		cout << "| o     |" << endl;
		cout << "|       |" << endl;
		cout << "|     o |" << endl;
		cout << " ------- " << endl;
	}
	else if (dieRoll == 3)
	{
		cout << " ------- " << endl;
		cout << "|     o |" << endl;
		cout << "|   o   |" << endl;
		cout << "| o     |" << endl;
		cout << " ------- " << endl;
	}
	else if (dieRoll == 4)
	{
		cout << " ------- " << endl;
		cout << "| o   o |" << endl;
		cout << "|       |" << endl;
		cout << "| o   o |" << endl;
		cout << " ------- " << endl;
	}
	else if (dieRoll == 5)
	{
		cout << " ------- " << endl;
		cout << "| o   o |" << endl;
		cout << "|   o   |" << endl;
		cout << "| o   o |" << endl;
		cout << " ------- " << endl;
	}
	else
	{
		cout << " ------- " << endl;
		cout << "| o   o |" << endl;
		cout << "| o   o |" << endl;
		cout << "| o   o |" << endl;
		cout << " ------- " << endl;
	}

	return;
}

I'm supposed to call it twice from main and then add the randomly generated numbers together. How do you do this?

[Ispil]

You could have the dice roll function return the actual roll result instead of void.

Like Ispil said... Throw in some return statements in your "if"-statements and return that value to a summed value in main.
