I'm trying to get specific results from my Lucky Sevens program, but I'm not sure where to-CodePudding

I'm trying to calculate the number of rolls it takes to go broke, and the amount of rolls that would have left you with the most money. The program is split into several functions outside of main (not my choice) so that makes it more difficult for me.

I'm very new to python, and this is an exercise for school. I'm just not really sure where to go from here, and I realize I'm probably doing some of this wrong. Here's the code I have so far:

import random

def displayHeader(funds):
    print ("--------------------------")
    print ("--------------------------")
    print ("-      Lucky Sevens      -")
    print ("--------------------------")
    print ("--------------------------")
    funds = int(input("How many dollars do you have? "))

def rollDie(newFunds): 
#this function is supposed to simulate the roll of two die and return results
    while funds > 0:
        diceRoll = random.randint(1,6)
        totalRoll = (diceRoll   diceRoll)
        if totalRoll == 7:
            funds = funds   4
        else:
            funds = funds - 1
    if funds == 0:
        newFunds = funds

def displayResults(): 
#this function is supposed to display the final results. 
#the number of rolls, the number of rolls you should have stopped at, and the max amount of money you would have had.

def main():
#everything gathered from the last function would be printed here.   

main()

Your program use variables that can only be accessed in certain scopes, so I think that the most recommended thing is that you use a class.

displayHeader input method it could stop the execution of the program since if you do not introduce a numerical value it will raises an exception called ValueError, if this does not help you much, I advise you to read the code carefully and add missing variables such as the input amount and the final amount and others...

class rollDiceGame():
     def __init__(self): 
          self.funds = 0
          self.diceRollCount = 0
     
    def displayHeader(self):
        print ("--------------------------")
        print ("--------------------------")
        print ("-      Lucky Sevens      -")
        print ("--------------------------")
        print ("--------------------------")
        self.funds = int(input("How many dollars do you have? ")) 

    def rollDice(self):
        while self.funds > 0:
            diceRoll = random.randint(1,6)
            totalRoll = (diceRoll   diceRoll)
            self.diceRollCount  = 1
            if totalRoll == 7:
                self.funds  = 4
            else:
                self.funds -= 1

     def displayResult(self):
         print('Roll count %d' % (self.diceRollCount))
         print('Current funds %d' % (self.funds))

def main():
    test = RollDiceGame()
    test.displayHeader()
