Beginner in java, need to write a random number generator.

Hello everyone, I am new to java and am having quite a bit of trouble with it. I have to write a random number generator with numbers between 0-50. I also have to put something in with a determineLowest to return the lowest number. I am using Eclpise to write and test the program. Can anyone offer me some pointers or places to start? I have browsed through my book, and it did not help me at all. Thanks.

Did you try Googling "java random numbers"?

One of the first results from Google. Enjoy:

Code:

import java.util.Random;



/** Generate 10 random integers in the range 0..99. */

public final class RandomInteger {

  

  public static final void main(String... aArgs){

    log("Generating 10 random integers in range 0..99.");

    

    //note a single Random object is reused here

    Random randomGenerator = new Random();

    for (int idx = 1; idx <= 10; ++idx){

      int randomInt = randomGenerator.nextInt(100);

      log("Generated : " + randomInt);

    }

    

    log("Done.");

  }

  

  private static void log(String aMessage){

    System.out.println(aMessage);

  }

}
