Answer 1

Solution : -
When external classes or interfaces is used in the current program you need to import those classes (that can be user defined or built-in) in your current program using the import keyword, But when program gives Cannot find symbol error it may be due to below reasons,
1) If the path of class or interface imported are not available to Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
2) If the absolute class name mentioned in import statement is not correct (i.e, packages name, class name).
3) If not imported the class or interface used.

Your program not identifing Die as a class so it is giving error as Cannot find symbol.

To make it working try after including below lines of code to the program
package dieGames;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
