+Your program should roll the given number of dice 10000 times, and count the number of times that each possible value is rolled. You should use an array as a frequency table to track this information. Think carefully about how you can use an array for this purpose. How big should our array be? Can we define a relationship between the random values that are generated by "rolling" the dice and how we count them in the array?

How big should our array be? Can we define a relationship between the random values that are generated and how we count them in the array?
+Once the 100 rolls have been simulated, your program should print out the frequency table, showing how often each value was rolled.
 
 Some iterative development tips:
 
-* Try making your array before you write the code for generating random numbers. Try using the array to print out information with the same structure as the example below (even though the frequencies will all be 0). Make sure the numbers start at 1 and go up to exactly ``max``.
+* Try making your array before you write the code for generating random numbers. Try using the array to print out information with the same structure as the example below (even though the frequencies will all be 0).
 * Try writing code that will generate a random number in your range. Print out the result. If ``max`` is 1, the generated number should always be 1. If ``max`` is 2, the generated number should sometimes be 1 and sometimes be 2. You can use these two values as a litmus test to see if your generator is working. (Once you have a number generator working, you can delete the print statement.)
 * Try using the number you generated as your index in the array and increase that count by one. Is there an index out of bounds error? Why might that be happening, and how could you fix it?
