import java.util.Random;
/**

public class PetalsGame
{
    // get random number
Random diceRoller = new Random();

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) 
{
  int roll = diceRoller.nextInt(6) + 1;
  System.out.println(roll);
}
}

Generally, with some exceptions that probably don't apply in this case, the statements between lines 13 and 17, inclusive, should be in a method.
