    Default Random String

    What's the easier way to get a random string?
    At the moment I would use:

    Random number = new Random();
numberR = number.nextInt(2)+1;
if (numberR==1){
    System.out.println("Hi.");
}
if (numberR==2){
  System.out.println("Hello.");
}

    Another way would be with a switch() statement.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    yep, doing that now already. Apparently I forgot about arrays. Thanks anyway.
