title: dice game program
body: <p>I'm writing a dice program where there are 7 rounds  In each round the user gets to roll as many times as they desire, the sum is added up, and then the computer rolls the same number of dice and it's sum is added up.  The winner of the round is determined by the highest dice roll and whoever winds the most rounds wins the game.  This is what I have so far but I can not get the loop which asks the user if they want to roll again to work properly so any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
  
  <pre><code>#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
  #include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
  #include &lt;time.h&gt;
  /* Easy dice game
  |
   |  The game consists of 7 rounds.
   |  In each round, the computer throws a die, 
   |  then the human throws a die.
   |  The winner of the round is the player who has the highest throw.
   |  In case of a tie, neither player wins.
   |  The winner of the game is the player who has won the most rounds.
