The normal 6 sided dice is pretty boring. So how about rolling a D20 or a D8? A D20 is a dice with 20 sides and a D8 one with 8. But we don't want to write the function all over again. You could also rewrite the dice function to take the amount of sides as a parameter.

Knowledge

Remember: Parameters are written between the parentheses and are separated with commas.

Like variables parameters have a type and a name. So when you have a function like:

 int add(int a, int b)
 {
     return a+b;
 }

and call it like this:add(5+9);, then a = 5 and b = 9 and it will return 14.

Task

Rewrite the function, such that it take a parameter to determine, what kind of dice you roll.
