How do you make a java program return a random number between two numbers inputed by the user?

Answer 1

Here is the final code for a program that RETURNS the number (from another method to the main method):

import java.util.*;

public class Example

{

public static void main(String[] args)

{

Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Please enter two numbers to generate a number between (inclusive) those two numbers");

System.out.println("Please enter the first:");

int d = in.nextInt();

System.out.println("Please enter the second:");

int e = in.nextInt();

int g = randomBetween(d, e);

}

public static int randomBetween(int d, int e)

{

Random random = new Random();

int f = random.nextInt(e-d+1)+d;

return f;

}

}
