[java] assigning values to 8 ints -help-
Author
// Hello, I am still learning JAva
//and I have a question about assigning
//a random #(1-6) to eight individual (Int)
// I was trying to use a method
//like where I declared an array and assigned
//then assigned it a[1]=Math.Random...
// The first(int) one was assigned
//a random # but the rest came up ZERO
my question is:
I know I could declare and assign each individual (int)
Declare (int1)
(int1)=Math.random...
Declare (int2)
(int2)=Math.random
and so on
but there must be a more elegant or "tight" way to accomplish this in Java.
Perhaps a For-loop
or perhaps an array method
if you have time please post sample code along with
your response. Thanks gang
hi.
here you go :
The other numbers where zero 'cause that's what ints are initialized to

here you go :
int myArray[];//init array in the main method/constructor/init() or before //usingmyArray = new int[8];for(int i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++) { myArray[ i ] = (int)(1 + Math.random() * 6);} The other numbers where zero 'cause that's what ints are initialized to

If you will bear with me I need a little
moe help. I am trying to run that code as a method but
I''m getting all zero''s
does this have to do with scope?
I get no error messages.
I can put up my embarrassing code if need be
thx if you can

you probably should put up the code, everybody has to start some where....
