    help on storing random generatored numbers into a string every time they get generated
    Can you explain in more detail?
    What range of values do you want the random number to have?
    How many digits do you want in the String?

    What happens when the posted code is compiled and executed?

    Do you know how to concatenate a value onto an existing String?
    theString += theValue;
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    well the range is just between 0-9 , it depends on the parameter how many go into the string.
    The code only stores what string is in the parameter n the first generated number

    Did you read all my post? The part about concatenation?

    BTW o & p are poor variable names. Name should describe what the variables contain.
