Print a for-loop, Java -

i'm trying learn java on own. re-doing programs i've done before, in different way. stuck for-loop. have following code:

public class head { public static void main(string[] args) {      int = 0;     int b = 0;     int c = 0;     int d = 0;     int e = 0;     int f = 0;      for(int i=0; i<1000; i++){          int dice1 = 1 + (int)(math.random() * ((6 - 1) + 1));         if (dice1 == 1){             a++;         }         else if(dice1 == 2){             b++;         }         else if(dice1 == 3){             c++;         }         else if(dice1 == 4){             d++;         }         else if(dice1 == 5){             e++;         }         else if(dice1 == 6){             f++;         }     }     system.out.println("ones: " + a);     system.out.println("twos: " + b);     system.out.println("threes: " + c);     system.out.println("fours: " + d);     system.out.println("fives: " + e);     system.out.println("sixes: " + f); } } 

this works fine , want to. want create constructor method countings me. far good. when comes printing out, output returns number of times calculation. i.e, if set i<5 prints 1 2 3 4 5 6 5 times, , not 1 time.

here bad code: public class head { public static void main(string[] args) {

int a=0; int b=0; int c=0; int d=0; int e=0; int f=0;  for(int i=0; i<5; i++){     int dice1 = 1 + (int)(math.random() * ((6 - 1) + 1));  dice diceobject = new dice(dice1, a, b, c, d, e, f); diceobject.countnumbers();        //      system.out.println(diceobject); } } }   public class dice { private int a=0, b=0, c=0, d=0, e=0, f=0;    private int dice1;  public dice(int dice1, int a, int b, int c, int d, int e, int f){ this.dice1 = dice1; this.a = a; this.b = b; this.c = c; this.d = d; this.e = e; this.f = f; } public int getdice1(){ return dice1; } public void countnumbers(){      if (dice1 == 1){     a++; } else if(dice1 == 2){     b++; } else if(dice1 == 3){     c++; } else if(dice1 == 4){     d++; } else if(dice1 == 5){     e++; } else if(dice1 == 6){     f++; } } } 

any on this? thank time!

there multiple things.

one of code unnecessary.

public dice(int dice1   /*, int a, int b, int c, int d, int e, int f*/  ){     this.dice1 = dice1;     //this.a = a;     //this.b = b;     //this.c = c;     //this.d = d;     //this.e = e;     //this.f = f; } 

you don't need commented lines of code because reset integers a-f , being done. means don't need variables a-f in head class.

public class head { public static void main(string[] args) {      //int a=0;     //int b=0;     //int c=0;     //int d=0;     //int e=0;     //int f=0;      for(int i=0; i<5; i++){         int dice1 = 1 + (int)(math.random() * ((6 - 1) + 1));          dice diceobject = new dice(dice1    /*, a, b, c, d, e, f*/  );         diceobject.countnumbers();               diceobject.saveresults();     }     system.out.println("a b c d e f");     dice.displayresults(); } } 

again, snips of code not needed commented out.

the next thing when write code

system.out.println(diceobject); 

that doesn't work because diceobject instance of class (dice) , isn't variable.

the way got work having variables sa, sb, sc, sd, se, , sf added.

private static int sa = 0, sb = 0, sc = 0, sd = 0, se = 0, sf = 0; 

i added these results each time loop runs saved. created void called saveresults(); variables had static because void static too. made displayresults void (i'll later) static accessed head class.

public void saveresults() {     sa += a;     sb += b;     sc += c;     sd += d;     se += e;     sf += f; } 

the += means add; last thing did make displayresults void. displays variables sa-sf using system.out.println();

public static void displayresults() {     system.out.println(sa + " " + sb + " " + sc + " " + sd + " " + se + " " + sf); } 

this went make final product. here code: head class:

public class head { public static void main(string[] args) {      for(int i=0; i<5; i++){         int dice1 = 1 + (int)(math.random() * ((6 - 1) + 1));          dice diceobject = new dice(dice1);         diceobject.countnumbers();               diceobject.saveresults();     }     system.out.println("a b c d e f");     dice.displayresults(); } 

} dice class: public class dice { private int a=0, b=0, c=0, d=0, e=0, f=0;
private static int sa = 0, sb = 0, sc = 0, sd = 0, se = 0, sf = 0; private int dice1;

public dice(int dice1){     this.dice1 = dice1; } public int getdice1(){     return dice1; } public void countnumbers(){          if (dice1 == 1){         a++;     }     else if(dice1 == 2){         b++;     }     else if(dice1 == 3){         c++;     }     else if(dice1 == 4){         d++;     }     else if(dice1 == 5){         e++;     }     else if(dice1 == 6){         f++;     } }  public void saveresults() {     sa += a;     sb += b;     sc += c;     sd += d;     se += e;     sf += f; }  public static void displayresults() {     system.out.println(sa + " " + sb + " " + sc + " " + sd + " " + se + " " + sf); } } 

i beginner @ java too. , coincidence, time trying teach myself. there course on codecademy.com teaches basics. recommend , free. sorry took long post answer, took while figure out wrong.
