random

Hello evreyone


could anyone please give an simple example on how to select a string by random from a list of strings

and thank you

What class/object is holding the Strings?
If an array, use one of the Random class or the Math.random() method to generate a number from 0 to the size-1 of the array.

Norms idea is the best way if you are going to be using an array. Here is a quick example for you:

Code :

---

public class RandomString {
 
	/**
	 * JavaProgrammingForums.com
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
 
		int rand = (int) (Math.random()*4);
 
		String[] array = new String[4];
 
		array[0] = "Java";
		array[1] = "Programming";
		array[2] = "Forums";
		array[3] = ".com";
 
		System.out.println(array[rand]);
 
	}
 
}
