Program: How to create random string with random characters?
| Description: |
|
Write a program to generate random string of length 10 charactors. Every time you call the method,
the program should generate random string.
|
| Code: |
package com.java2novice.random;
import java.util.Random;
public class MyStringRandomGen {
private static final String CHAR_LIST =
"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890";
private static final int RANDOM_STRING_LENGTH = 10;
/**
* This method generates random string
* @return
*/
public String generateRandomString(){
StringBuffer randStr = new StringBuffer();
for(int i=0; i<RANDOM_STRING_LENGTH; i++){
int number = getRandomNumber();
char ch = CHAR_LIST.charAt(number);
randStr.append(ch);
}
return randStr.toString();
}
/**
* This method generates random numbers
* @return int
*/
private int getRandomNumber() {
int randomInt = 0;
Random randomGenerator = new Random();
randomInt = randomGenerator.nextInt(CHAR_LIST.length());
if (randomInt - 1 == -1) {
return randomInt;
} else {
return randomInt - 1;
}
}
public static void main(String a[]){
MyStringRandomGen msr = new MyStringRandomGen();
System.out.println(msr.generateRandomString());
System.out.println(msr.generateRandomString());
System.out.println(msr.generateRandomString());
System.out.println(msr.generateRandomString());
System.out.println(msr.generateRandomString());
System.out.println(msr.generateRandomString());
System.out.println(msr.generateRandomString());
}
}

wait Vs sleep methods
sleep():
It is a static method on Thread class. It makes the current thread into the
"Not Runnable" state for specified amount of time. During this time, the thread
keeps the lock (monitors) it has acquired.
wait():
It is a method on Object class. It makes the current thread into the "Not Runnable"
state. Wait is called on a object, not a thread. Before calling wait() method, the
object should be synchronized, means the object should be inside synchronized block.
The call to wait() releases the acquired lock.
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.
