Parsing random integers into a Strings
Jul 18, 2004 3:11 AM

Hi

Its kind of simple question thu but its so hard for me,

Im using the Random class to generate randomize numbers but my applicatiom must those numbers as a String and not integers. How can I parse the returned random int into a String?

String label = random.nextInt(70).toString(); ????

Thanks

gen.nextInt(70) + 1;

nextInt(n) gives an integer in the range of 0 to n-1, so nextInt(70) +1 will give you an integer in the range of 1 - 70.

The nextInt(int) method returns a random number between 0 and the passed number, excluding the passed number. From this you get any range by adding or subtracting numbers.

Like to get a number from 1 to 70, first generate a number from 0 to 69 and add one. In code, "1+gen.nextInt(70)"
