code:

import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

class Test
{
long randomNumberSeed = System.currentTimeMillis();
Random randomNumberGenerator = new Random(randomNumberSeed);
int randomInt = randomNumberGenerator.nextInt();
}

See the Sun Java docs for the Random class.

looks preaty simple to me... once you declear your randomNumGen, its just

code:

randomNumberGenerator.nextInt();

code:

Math.random();

Yeah, I knew someone would beat me to that answer, so I posted the other answer. Wink

Really, though, use either one, but know the Random class. It's more powerful and flexible than Math.random().
