12. generating and validating random numbers forums.oracle.comI think ejp has a problem with the statements inside your innermost while loop. Why don't you just generate another random again?

69. 8 digit random number forums.oracle.com%8.8d But that will give you a number with leading zeros some of the time. If you don't want that you'll have to filter them out, or add 100000000 and then take the number modulo 100000000. Also you shouldn't keep creating a new Random for every number. It's wasteful and also not as random as re-using the same one. |
