;Task:
(Given an equal-probability generator of one of the integers 1 to 5
as <code>dice5</code>), create <code>dice7</code> that generates a pseudo-random integer from
1 to 7 in equal probability using only <code>dice5</code> as a source of random
numbers, and check the distribution for at least one million calls using the function created in [[Verify distribution uniformity/Naive|Simple Random Distribution Checker]].
'''Implementation suggestion:'''
<code>dice7</code> might call <code>dice5</code> twice, re-call if four of the 25
combinations are given, otherwise split the other 21 combinations
into 7 groups of three, and return the group index from the rolls.

The first step is to create 7-sided dice rolls from 5-sided dice rolls (<code>rollD5</code>):
<syntaxhighlight lang="j">rollD5=: [: >: ] ?@$ 5: NB. makes a y shape array of 5s, "rolls" the array and increments.
roll2xD5=: [: rollD5 2 ,~ */ NB. rolls D5 twice for each desired D7 roll (y rows, 2 cols)
toBase10=: 5 #. <: NB. decrements and converts rows from base 5 to 10
keepGood=: #~ 21&> NB. compress out values not less than 21
groupin3s=: [: >. >: % 3: NB. increments, divides by 3 and takes ceiling
getD7=: groupin3s@keepGood@toBase10@roll2xD5</syntaxhighlight>
Here are a couple of variations on the theme that achieve the same result:
<syntaxhighlight lang="j">getD7b=: 0 8 -.~ 3 >.@%~ 5 #. [: <:@rollD5 2 ,~ ]
getD7c=: [: (#~ 7&>:) 3 >.@%~ [: 5&#.&.:<:@rollD5 ] , 2:</syntaxhighlight>
The trouble is that we probably don't have enough D7 rolls yet because we compressed out any double D5 rolls that evaluated to 21 or more. So we need to accumulate some more D7 rolls until we have enough. J has two types of verb definition - tacit (arguments not referenced) and explicit (more conventional function definitions) illustrated below:
Here's an explicit definition that accumulates rolls from <code>getD7</code>:
<syntaxhighlight lang="j">rollD7x=: monad define
n=. */y NB. product of vector y is total number of D7 rolls required
rolls=. '' NB. initialize empty noun rolls
while. n > #rolls do. NB. checks if if enough D7 rolls accumulated
rolls=. rolls, getD7 >. 0.75 * n NB. calcs 3/4 of required rolls and accumulates getD7 rolls
end.
y $ rolls NB. shape the result according to the vector y
)</syntaxhighlight>
Here's a tacit definition that does the same thing:
<syntaxhighlight lang="j">getNumRolls=: [: >. 0.75 * */@[ NB. calc approx 3/4 of the required rolls
accumD7Rolls=: ] , getD7@getNumRolls NB. accumulates getD7 rolls
isNotEnough=: */@[ > #@] NB. checks if enough D7 rolls accumulated
rollD7t=: ] $ (accumD7Rolls ^: isNotEnough ^:_)&''</syntaxhighlight>
The <code>verb1 ^: verb2 ^:_</code> construct repeats <code>x verb1 y</code> while <code>x verb2 y</code> is true. It is like saying "Repeat accumD7Rolls while isNotEnough".
Example usage:
<syntaxhighlight lang="j"> rollD7t 10 NB. 10 rolls of D7
6 4 5 1 4 2 4 5 2 5
rollD7t 2 5 NB. 2 by 5 array of D7 rolls
5 1 5 1 3
3 4 3 5 6
rollD7t 2 3 5 NB. 2 by 3 by 5 array of D7 rolls

3 7 1 4 5
5 4 5 7 6
1 1 7 6 3

NB. check results from rollD7x and rollD7t have same shape

'''Also works with gojq, the Go implementation of jq.'''
In this entry, the results for both a low-entropy and a
high-entropy 5-sided die are shown. The former uses the computer's
clock as a not-very-good PRNG, and the latter uses /dev/random in accordance
with the following invocation:
<syntaxhighlight lang=sh>
#!/bin/bash
< /dev/random tr -cd '0-9' | fold -w 1 | jq -Mcnr -f dice.jq
</syntaxhighlight>
The results employ a two-tailed χ2-test at the 95% confidence level
according to which we are entitled to reject the null hypothesis of
uniform randomness if the χ2 statistic is less than 1.69 or greater
than 16.013, assuming the number of trials is large enough.

We make a stack object (is reference type) and pass it as a closure to dice7 lambda function. For each dice7 we pop the top value of stack, and we add a fresh dice5 (random(1,5)) as last value of stack, so stack used as FIFO. Each time z has the sum of 7 random values.
We check for uniform numbers using +-5% from expected value.

A console application in Free Pascal, created with the Lazarus IDE.
The algorithm suggested in the task description requires on average 50/21 (about 2.38) calls to Dice5 for each call to Dice7. See the link in the VBA solution for a discussion on how to reduce this ratio. It cannot be made less than log_5(7) = 1.209062. The algorithm below is based on Rex Kerr's solution, and requires about 1.2185 calls to Dice5 per call to Dice7. Runtime is about 60% of that for the suggested simple algorithm.
A chi-squared test can be carried out with the help of statistical tables, and is preferred here to an arbitrary "naive" test.
