Dice Simulation in Java

Overview

This Java project simulates rolling one or more dice with a configurable number of sides and trials. It calculates and displays statistical data, including the mean, variance, and standard deviation, along with a visual histogram representing the frequency distribution.

Project Structure

The project is structured as follows:

Features

• Customizable Dice Simulation: Set the number of sides on the dice, the number of rolls and the number of the dice.
• Statistical Analysis: Calculate and display mean, variance, and standard deviation.
• Histogram Output: Visual representation of frequency distribution using histograms.
• Object-Oriented Design: Modular code with separation of concerns.
• Builder Pattern: Simplifies the configuration and creation of simulations.

Customization

• To modify the number of rolls, sides, and dice, edit the Main class in Main.java:
  

  DiceSimulation simulation = new DiceSimulation.Builder()
          .setNumberOfRolls(60)   // Set the number of dice rolls
          .setNumberOfSides(6)    // Set the number of sides on each die
          .setNumberOfDice(3)     // Set the number of dice to roll
          .build();
  

Requirements

• Java 8 or later.

Running the Project
