Las Vegas style dice have 6 sides numbered 1 to 6. When rolling 2 dice, a six is 5 times more likely than a two because a six can be rolled 5 different ways (1 + 5, 5 + 1, 2 + 4, 4 + 2, 3 + 3), while a two can only be rolled 1 way (1 + 1).
Create a function that accepts two arguments:the number of dice rolled, and the outcome of the roll. The function returns the number of possible combinations that could produce that outcome. The number of dice can vary from 1 to 6.
For the example given above:
dice_roll(2, 6) would return 5dice_roll(2, 2) would return 1dice_roll(1, 3) ➞ 1
dice_roll(2, 5) ➞ 4
# 1 + 4, 4 + 1, 2 + 3, 3 + 2
dice_roll(3, 4) ➞ 3
# 1 + 1 + 2, 1 + 2 + 1, 2 + 1 + 1
dice_roll(4, 18) ➞ 80
dice_roll(6, 20) ➞ 4221
1 + 5 and 5 + 1 are distinct combinations because die #1 can show 1 while die #2 can show 5, or die #1 can show 5 while die #2 can show 1.
