A-LevelComputer ScienceProgramming ConceptsMay/June 2025Paper 2 Q37 Marks
A programmer has been asked to create a module RollDice() to simulate multiple rolls of a dice. This module will be used as part of a program for a game. The module will: step 1 - take a positive integer parameter representing the number of times the dice will be rolled step 2 - simulate one roll of the dice by generating a random integer between 1 and 6 inclusive step 3 - output the integer generated step 4 - repeat, as required from step 2 step 5 - calculate the average value of the random integers generated step 6 - return the average value. Write pseudocode for the module RollDice()
