C2310-Assignment 2 Dices Solved
In this assignment, you are going to write a C++ program to find out the probability of different total values when several unbiased dices were thrown at the same time. The program makes use of various techniques including basic I/O, arithmetic, conditional control structures, loops and arrays.
Problem Statement:
It is well known that a dice is a cube with number 1 to 6 written on each face, but in fact there exist irregular dices with different number of faces (e.g. 4, 5, 8…etc). A coin can also be considered as a dice of 2 faces as well.
When an unbiased dice is thrown, the probability of having different face value should be equal. For instance, a typical cubic dice should give a probability of 1/6 for the face values 1,2,3,4,5 and 6.
If two cubic dices were thrown, the total of the face values on the two dices is in range [2..12]. However, the probability of each "total value” is not equal. For example, the total of 4 is having a probability of 3/36 (for combinations 1+3, 2+2 and 3+3) while the probability of a total of 2 is only 1/36 (when both dices give 1).
In this assignment, you need to write a program to find out the probability of each "total value" when several unbiased irregular dices (possibly with different number of faces) are thrown at the same time.
The program should first read in the number of dices, N (range: [1..12] inclusive).
Then the program will read in N numbers, each representing the number of faces of a dice (range: [1..12] inclusive. Of course it's physically impossible to have a one-face dice, but you can imagine that it's a dice with 1 written on all faces)
Finally the program should output the probability of each "total value" in fractional form. (you may assume that the denominator of the fraction is always small enough for a 32bit integer)
Part 1 - Basic part
• You may assume that all input numbers are valid.
• Print in ascending order of the "total value".
• The "total value" is right aligned to the field width of the largest number.
• No simplification of fraction is needed.
• Default PASS runtime limit (5 sec) is adopted for each test case.

Part 2 - Enhanced part
• It is guaranteed that the user input are numbers, however it may not be an integer in range [1..12]. Upon invalid input, the program should print the error message and keep reading until a valid number is entered.
(Apart from that, no other error checking is needed)
• The output should be sorted in descending order of probability. If there are several "total values" having the same probability, print in ascending order of "total".
• The fraction should be in the simplest form (e.g. 1/2 instead of 6/12).
• Runtime limit is 1 second for each test case.
