  functions.
- <ctime>: For the time() function to seed the random number generator.
Main Function:
- Initialize Random Seed:
  - srand(static_cast<unsigned>(time(0)));: Seeds the random number generator with the current time. This ensures different sequences of random numbers each time the program is run.
- Simulate Rolling a Dice:
  - int roll = rand() % 6 + 1;: Generates a random number between 1 and 6. rand() % 6 generates a number from 0 to 5, and adding 1 shifts this range to 1 to 6.
- Output Result:
  - Prints the result of the dice roll to the console.

Notes:

Randomness: The rand()

function is used to generate pseudo-random numbers. Seeding with time(0) ensures that the numbers are different each time the program is executed.
Range Calculation: The expression rand() % 6 provides a value between 0 and 5. Adding 1 adjusts this range to 1 through 6, which matches the typical outcome of rolling a six-sided dice.
