I have a 2D Array that has 5 rows and 5 columns. I want it so that at 8 random spots in that 2D array (make it pick a random row and column) to put a char of '1'.
What I did was call the Random class and generate a number between 0 and 4 (for the 5 spots of the array) then I have two for loops that run 8 times (for the 8 random spots I want), one that goes through the row, the other through the column.
This is the code I have so far:
char[][] battleship = new char[5][5];
//I didn't include this but I have a for loop that populates all the rows and columns with a char of '0'
Random random = new Random();
int randomNum = random.nextInt(4);
for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
{
for (int o = 0; o < 8; o++)
{
battleship[randomNum][randomNum] = '1';
}
}
The issue I am getting is that instead of it putting the '1' at 8 random spots, it's putting in 5 spots back to back.
How do I correct this?
Here is an example of the output:
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0
The '1' isn't in 8 random spots.
Where did I go wrong?
