random number generator

[cwalster]

im in a java class and need to make a program that displays 6 random numbers between 1 and 49. ive gotten the display part to work... but the random generator confounds my logic. help PLEASE

One way to do this is by using the Random class within the java util package. The nextInt(int n) method will solve your problem (Returns an int value between 0 and the specified value(n) minus 1!). Of course you will need a loop too since you need 6 numbers.
Good luck :-)

you can use nextInt(int) method of the java.util.Rando m class, found in java documentation. also u can find an example overthere.

Hi,

just a word of advice, the nextInt(Number) begins at '0', so if you want to generate a number between 1-49 don't forget to add the '+1' after nextInt(Number) .

If you already didn't figure that one out.
