Basic function for dice simulator doesn't work, unsure why

Question

import random

def dice_roll ():
x = int (input ("How many sides would you like the die to have? "))
y = int (input ("How many would you like to roll? "))
z = int (input ("Is there a modifier you would like applied? "))
if x != int:
dice_roll ()
if y != int:
dice_roll ()
if z != int:
dice_roll ()
print (random.randint (1,x) * y + z)

dice_roll()

Answer 1

I guess your "if" statements are trying to check types for x, y and z. If so, it should be
if type(x) != int
Doing that also for y and z should work.

Answer 2

separate note, but statistically this is wrong. the odds of rolling 3 d6 and getting 18 aren't the same as rolling 3 d6 and getting 9. you should use a for loop to roll new dice instead of assuming all of them are the same. the more dice the closer to average your results should be

Answer 3

ahh, thank you, I knew for a fact that was the issue , but I didn't know how to properly check for a TYPE of data, I just assumed this would work. thank you!
