Message:
Random
Posted by Matt Gerrans on February 19, 2002 at 1:00 PM
Here's my version:
import java.util.Random;public class MyRandom
{
final static Random random = new Random(); static int getTargetNumberToGuess()
{
return random.nextInt(100) + 1;
}
}
The main differences are:
- The Random object is static, since you really only need to create it once and use it many times in your program, instead of creating one every time you want a new random number.
- It has a more descriptive name, which becomes even more important when it is a class or instance variable.
- To get the range of 1 to 100, you need to call
nextInt() with the parameter of 100 (which will give a random number from 0 to 99) and then add 1 to it.
