Chapter 6.9, Problem 42SC

Program Plan Intro

“Random” class:

• The class “Random” is used to get a random number or generates random numbers based on the given range.
• The package used is “java.util.Random”.
• First, the object should be created for the “Random” class.
• Next, the range should be given.

Syntax:

Random randomObject = new Random ();

Example:

int rand = 1 + randomObject.nextInt(5);

• In the above example, the call “randomObject.nextInt (5)” gives random number between 0 and 5.
• The random number gets stored in variable named “rand”.
