Random Number Generator

[jodders]

Im trying to make a random number generator for 8 shapes,and im have a little trouble at da moment with my coding.

so far my function looks like this:


public void random(){
for(int i =1;i <8; i++){
int n1 = (int) (Math.Random() * number);
int n2 = (int) (Math.Random() * number);
Shape temp = stack[n1];
stack[n1] = stack[n2];
stack[n2] = temp;
}
}
}


it wont seem to compile,so do i have to declare my n1 variables ? and also stack? IF i want to call the random function,how do i call it?

The random method in Math is lower case. This sort of problem can be easily solved by looking up the searchable documentation online at:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/search.html

Try to get accustomed to using it. You'll find your answer much faster than you will through a message board.

If you compile a Java file and get a "connot resolve symbol" error, check all the spellings & cases are consistent (on that particular line number reported as containing the error) with what they should be, then check you've imported the correct classes/packages for what you have in your code.
