Thread: Java Question

I have just started learning Java and I need a random number generator. Can anyone help.

Do a search on java.lang.Math.random()


Also if your doing Java....take a look at Javaranch ...good forum...even if they are a bit "cowboy" obsessed

Another great java forum:

http://forum.java.sun.com

No offense meant, but last time I checked, this is a C, C++, C# board. Use the sun forums, please.

General Discussions. (Hmm, we dont ever discuss things here, do we?) Not a java help board. If we were to be discussing the pros and cons of java or something to that effect, then I wouldnt have said what I did, but she is asking for help on the General Discussions board.

Heh, we should get a general programming board for help on any languages that arent C, C++, C#.

Java has several ways to get a random number, the following being the easiest.

Code:

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

class RandTest
{
  public static void main ( String args[] )
  {
    int i;
    // Seed from the current system time.
    Random rand = new Random();
    // Get a random number from 1 - 100.
    i = rand.nextInt ( 100 ) + 1;
    System.out.println ( "Your random number is: " + i );
  }
}
