Getting random numbers in Java [duplicate]

by

The first solution is to use the java.util.Random class:

import java.util.Random;

Random rand = new Random();

// Obtain a number between [0 - 49].
int n = rand.nextInt(50);

// Add 1 to the result to get a number from the required range
// (i.e., [1 - 50]).
n += 1;

Another solution is using Math.random():

double random = Math.random() * 49 + 1;

or

int random = (int)(Math.random() * 50 + 1);
