Functions for Die

[Jaxyral]

So i have been trying to make a program that uses a function to roll a dice. I made the program so that the dice roll is within main but I'd like to make the dice roll a function all in itself so that i can use it for multiple things. This is what i have so far in the file attached and below copied and pasted:

#include <iostream>
#include <ctime> // for time function
#include <cstdlib> // for rand and srand functions
using namespace std;

int target, roll;
long count;

int rollDie(int target, int roll) {
long x;
while(roll != target){
roll = rand() &#37; 6 + 1;
x++;
}
return x;
}


int main(){
srand((int)time(0));
cout << "Enter target (ctrl-z to exit): ";
cin >> target;

while (cin) {
//display stats
cout << endl << "target: " << target << endl;
cout << "number of rolls: " << rollDie() << endl;

//prompt and read next target
cout << "enter target (ctrl-z to exit): ";
cin >> target;
}
//exit
cout << endl << "Exiting.." << endl;
return 0;
}
