converting for loop to while loop c#

Question

I'm curious to know how you would convert the following into a while loop. I know it doesn't make the most sense in this situation but I am working out of a student workbook and would like to see another example. Thanks in advance, any help is much appreciated.

int sides = 0; 
int number = 0; 
int total = 0; 

Random random = new Random(); 
Console.WriteLine("Choose the number of sides."); 
sides = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
Console.WriteLine("Choose number of dice.");
number = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

for (int i = 0; i < number; i++) 
{
   int die = random.Next(1, sides); 
   Console.WriteLine("You Rolled {0}", die.ToString());d
   total += die;
}

Console.WriteLine("Your total is {0}", total);
Console.ReadLine();

int i = 0;
while(i < number)
{
       int die = random.Next(1, sides); 
       Console.WriteLine("You Rolled {0}", die.ToString());
       total += die;
       i++
}

That was fast. I was typing the "w" in while in my answer when your answer showed up

You want to convert a for-loop to a while-loop if I understand correctly.

int currentNum = 0;
while (currentNum < number)
{
   int die = random.Next(1, sides);
   Console.WriteLine("You Rolled {0}", die.ToString());
   total += die;

   currentNum++;
}

There is an error in your code. There is a "d" alone at the end of the 5th line.
