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.
