Dice Function

From: Mythran (kip_potter@hotmail.com)

Just a question:

Why was the dice function written as it is?

Would the following suffice and be faster (no loop)?

int dice(int num, int size)
{
  if (num <= 0 || size <= 0)
    return (0);

  return (number(num, num * size));
}

I was just wondering that if the above function is faster (maybe not much faster) but faster, why not use it instead?

Advantages:
  No declaration and initialization of any variables.
  No loops.

Disadvantages:
  ???  Don't know any... ???
