    math.random problem

    hey, I'm fairly new to Java programming, so I was wondering if I could get a little bit of help, or direction.

    the following code works fine, but I need to edit it so that the labels are not alphabetic but numeric - so that the labels display 4 digits which are randomly initialized each time. I know I have to use math.random somehow, I'm just not sure how to apply it to my labels and such

    this is the part of the code that I know I have to change, just not sure how exactly:

    Code:
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    
    public class AnagramLabels  {
       private Label lab1, lab2, lab3;
    
       public AnagramLabels(ThreeButtons.ThreeButtonFrame w )  {
          lab1 = new Label();
           lab1.setBounds(230, 30, 200, 40);
           lab1.setFont(new Font("",Font.BOLD,30));
           lab1.setText("ABCD");
           w.add(lab1);
           w.repaint();
    
           lab2 = new Label();
           lab2.setBounds(230, 70, 200, 40);
           lab2.setFont(new Font("",Font.BOLD,30));
           lab2.setText("EFGH");
           w.add(lab2);
           w.repaint();
    
           lab3 = new Label();
           lab3.setBounds(230, 110, 200, 40);
           lab3.setFont(new Font("",Font.BOLD,30));
           lab3.setText("TABC");
           w.add(lab3);
           w.repaint();
       }  
       
    }

    Math.random() returns a random number between 0 and 1(0 included,1 not included).

    (int)(Math.random()*10000)

    this phrase gives you 4 digit number.
