The Random class is in the java.util package. It implements a pseudo-random number generator. One of its methods is: nextInt(int num) which returns a random integer (any one of the possible values 0..num-1). Look at pages 112-115 of the text. The following program simulates flipping a coin:

import java.util.*;

class Flip

{ public static void main ( String[] args )

{ Scanner scan = new Scanner( System.in );

Random coin = new Random();

int count = 1, heads = 0, tails = 0;

int numberFlips, flipResult;

System.out.print("Enter the number of flips:");

numberFlips = scan.nextInt();

while( count <= numberFlips )

{ flipResult = coin.nextInt(2) ;

if ( flipResult == 0 )

heads++ ;

else tails++ ;

count++ ; }

System.out.println("The number of heads:" + heads );

System.out.println("The number of tails:" + tails );

}

}

Your job: Modify the program so that it simulates an 8-sided die. Rather than heads and tails, use an array of 8 int. Be sure to initialize the array to zero. After each throw of the die, increment the correct cell. At the end of the program print the value in each cell.
