It is a really weird problem I am not sure myself what is happening but I will try to explain.
My code creates an array of size 10, it randoms numbers from 0 to 9 to fit in each slot. The problem comes when the number 9 is not picked until the last space. Math.random keeps randomizing numbers but it will never pick the number 9. I ran the program for about 1 minute and it never picked it.
Here is my program
public class GenerateRandomNumbers{
// main method
public static void main(String[] args) {
int aSize = 10;
int[] a = new int[aSize];//setting size of array
for(int i = 0; a.length > i; i++){//looping through the whole array
a[i] = (int)(Math.random()*9) + 1;//assigning random number to each slot of array
System.out.println("assign " + a[i] + " to i" + i);
//looping through filled array slots.
for(int k = i-1; -1 < k; k--){
System.out.println("Check if " + a[i] + " i"+ i + " = " + a[k]+ " k"+ k );
//if not unique give a new number
if(a[i] == a[k]){
System.out.println("CHANGE HERE");
a[i] = (int)(Math.random()*9) + 0;
System.out.println("assign " + a[i] + " to " + i);
k = i;//reset loop so it checks all over again
}
}
System.out.println("ACCEPT");
}
for(int i = 0; a.length > i; i++){
System.out.println(a[i]);
}
}
}
Can someone explain me what is causing the bug ?
Thanks in advance !
