Hello

Im working on an issue where i need a program to randomly generate numbers and not repeats them. I also need the progam to ask for the users input:

"How many lotto lines do you want to generate"??

So when the user put in 5 - the user gets 5 lines of lotto code

The code i have so far is :

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Random;
package javaapplication2;
/**
 *
 * @author Stirbob
 */
public class loto {

public static void main(String[] arg) {
ArrayList<Integer> al = new ArrayList<Integer>();
for(int r = 1; r <= 42; r++)
al.add(r);

Random ran = new Random();
for(int r = 0; r < 6; r++) {
int n = al.remove(ran.nextInt(al.size()));
System.out.print(" " + n);
}
System.out.println();
}  
}

Please Help??

You can check the Scanner class, here is the API:
http://download.orac...il/Scanner.html
declare a Scanner Object, and use the nextInt() to get user's input as int value.

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.int);
int n = input.nextInt();

Thanks

But im still lost on the how to get it to repeat after the question is asked. I am aware of the input scanner part. I need help with the part between the question been asked and the repeating of the code... ??

Thanks

You can use the ArrayList contains() method to check to see if an element exists in it before adding another element. Does this answer your question, or are you talking about prompting for a new set of input and repeating the program?
