dice notation

Dice notation is a shorthand way to describe dice rolls in gaming and probability calculations. It uses numbers and symbols, such as “3d6,” which means rolling three six-sided dice and adding the results. The number before the “d” indicates how many dice to roll, and the number after specifies the sides on each die. Additional notation, like “+2,” can be added to modify the total. This system allows for easy communication and understanding of complex combinations of dice rolls, making it clear how many dice are involved and their types.
