I just figured out a solution. I changed the formatting from %d to %s and that solved the problem.

Here's a solution my n00b mind came up with that works:

    String asterisk = "*";//String to print
    int printCount = 0;//Determines the amount of lines to print
    int asteriskCount =1;//Used to determine how many asterisks to print
    
    public void pyramidOut () {
        while (printCount <= 6) {         
            for (int x = asteriskCount;x != 0;x--) {
            System.out.print (asterisk);
            }//end Nested for loop          
            System.out.print ('\n');
            printCount++;
            asteriskCount++;
        }//end while loop
    }//end PyramidOut method   

I hope this helps

Thanks guys. I rewrote my code and I'm now getting my desired output.

package test;

import java.util.Random;

public class TestArray{
    
    public static void main (String[] args) {
       
        int[] genLocationCells = new int[3];
        int sequence = 0;
        int numElement = 0;
        
        Random number = new Random();
        int value = number.nextInt(3);
        
        while (sequence < 3) {
            genLocationCells [numElement] = value;
            sequence++;
            numElement++;
            value++;    
        }// end while loop
        
        System.out.println (genLocationCells[0]);
        System.out.println (genLocationCells[1]);
        System.out.println (genLocationCells[2]);
    }// end Main method
}// end class

@pbl: For future reference in this case why is it better for me to to use the Random class instead of the Math class?

Thanks guys! This helped my find what I was looking for.
