Fill an array with random numbers
This seems a little bit like homework. So I'll give you some hints. The good news is that you're almost there! You've done most of the hard work already!
- Think about a construct that can help you iterate over the array. Is there some sort of construct (a loop perhaps?) that you can use to iterate over each location in the array?
- Within this construct, for each iteration of the loop, you will assign the value returned by
randomFill()
to the current location of the array.
Note: Your array is double
, but you are returning int
s from randomFill
. So there's something you need to fix there.
You can use IntStream ints() or DoubleStream doubles() available as of java 8 in Random class. something like this will work, depends if you want double or ints etc.
Random random = new Random();
int[] array = random.ints(100000, 10,100000).toArray();
you can print the array and you'll get 100000 random integers.
You need to add logic to assign random values to double[] array using randomFill method.
Change
public static double[] list(){
anArray = new double[10];
return anArray;
}
To
public static double[] list() {
anArray = new double[10];
for(int i=0;i<anArray.length;i++)
{
anArray[i] = randomFill();
}
return anArray;
}
Then you can call methods, including list() and print() in main method to generate random double values and print the double[] array in console.
public static void main(String args[]) {
list();
print();
}
