====== Number Cube ======
  - Make a new class (Object) called ''Di'' or ''NumberCube''
  - Make have 2 instance variables: the total number of sides, and the side currently facing up
  - Make a default Constructor with no parameters that initializes the instance variables
  - Make another Constructor that takes an ''int'' parameter and sets that to the number of sides. 
  - Make a roll method that randomly changes the current side facing up.  It should return an int <code java> return 1 + (int)(sides*Math.random() ) ;</code>
  - Override the default ''toString()'' method so it returns a string reporting the number facing up and how many sides it has, for example: ''D20 is showing 13''
  - Make a NumberCubeTester that create a 12 sides die and a 6 sided die, and the makes a loop: 

<code java>import java.util.Scanner;

public class NumberCubeTester
{
    public static void main ( String[]  args )
    {
        Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in);
        String input = "";
        System.out.println("Welcome to the Number Rolling Tester");
        // make 2 new number cubes
        do 
        {
            // roll the cubes and return the sum of the 2 dice
            
            System.out.println("Press return to roll, type Q to quit");
            input = kb.nextLine();
        }
        while ( ! input.equalsIgnoreCase("Q") );
        System.out.println("Thanks for testing this out.");

    }
}
</code>
