A beginner's question

TehDude

Hello, I have been working with qBasic for a while now, and now I need a little help with the RANDOMIZE TIMER command.

Let's say, I make my program throw 2 or more dices (Print random numbers from 1 to 6 two times) and make it throw the "dices" until both of the numbers are equal, so, I've gotten to that part, but now I must make the program tell me how many times were the dices thrown until the numbers were equal.

So, could you please, tell me the operator for that?

Thank you

First throw 1 die and set a counter to 0. Then make a loop, which throws the other die and increases the counter. The loop should end if the second die is equal to the first. In psuedocode:
[code]
first = roll die
counter = 0
repeat
second = roll die
increase counter
until first = second
show counter
[/code]
