A group of people are betting on the outcome of three throws of the dice.A person bets $1 on predicting the outcome of the three throws.Write a program that uses the random number method to simulate three throws of a die and displays the winnings according to the following rules:
all three throws are sixes:win $20;
all three throws are the same(but not sixes):win $10;
all two of the three throws are the same:win $5
Thank you!

I was going to suggest that if you can't solve this programming problem, you change your major, but after reading "all two of the three throws are the same", I'm thinking maybe you should just drop out altogether...

Setting aside the fact that this users ought to do his or her own homework...
Is there an efficient algorithm for comparing three (or more) values? There's an obvious brute force approach, but I was thinking there must be some elegant computer scientist type of approach.

You're right.Now I have solved the problem by myself.I just wanted to communicate with you by this one.I don't like somebody's suggestion asking me to change the major in deed.
