'Generating a random number that ends with a certain digit in Java
How does one generate a random number between 0 and 500 that ENDS WITH 5 in Java? I'm fairly new to programming.
Solution 1:[1]
See Java Generate Random Number Between Two Given Values
Generate a random number between 0(included) and 50(excluded), multiply it by 10 and add 5.
import java.util.Random;
public class RandomFive {
static Random rand = new Random();
public static int randomFive() {
return rand.nextInt(50) * 10 + 5;
}
public static int randomFiveFun() {
int randomFive = 0;
while ((randomFive = rand.nextInt(500)) % 10 != 5);
return randomFive;
}
public static int randomFivePresidentJamesKPolck() {
return (rand.nextInt(50) * 2 + 1 ) * 5;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.printf("Normal: %3d\n", randomFive());
System.out.printf("Fun: %3d\n", randomFiveFun());
System.out.printf("PJKP: %3d\n", randomFivePresidentJamesKPolck());
}
}
As @Lino pointed out, it is a good practice to use new Random()
only once during your application's lifetime or to use ThreadLocalRandom
. Additionally, please consider https://stackoverflow.com/a/3532136/18980756.
