OOOOO!  I know this one!

If you meant this as pascal, this is the code:

function roll( n: integer ): integer;
var i: integer;
begin
  for i := 1 to n do result := inc(result, random(6) + 1);
end;

There is no += in pascal.  If only...  :)  Your version where you init 
the result so you do not have to add may run faster but I golfed it a 
bit.  Still, it is far better than the C version.  I liked seeing it 
here too.  :)
