"""
This program simulates 100 rolls of two dice and records the outcomes to determine the frequency of each possible total, ranging from 2 to 12. By calculating these frequencies, the program then estimates the probability of obtaining each specific total. Users can select a target number representing the total outcome from both dice, and the program provides the probability of achieving that selected number.

For example:
● If 1 was the input, the output would be: The chance of you getting 1 is 0%
● If 7 was the input, the output would be: The chance of you getting 7 is 12%
