Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Calculation steps and notation
Build counts of attainable sums one die at a time. For each previous sum, add its count to the sums formed by each face 1 through s. Probability = the target sum’s count divided by s^n for n dice.
Assumptions & limits
