This is a project for school. The objective is to create a program that reads a user's input, then shortens that input by randomly deleting characters until it reaches 140 characters. Here's what I have so far. Currently it only deletes one character and then stops running. Thanks for any advice
import java.util.Scanner; import java.util.Random;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter the tweet you want to shorten:");
String tweet = null;
tweet = keyboard.nextLine();
int tweetLength = tweet.length();
Random rand = new Random();
do {
} while (tweetLength <= 140); {
int characterposition = rand.nextInt(tweetLength);
String shorttweet = tweet.substring(0, characterposition-1);
String shorttweet2 = tweet.substring(characterposition);
tweet = shorttweet + shorttweet2;
System.out.println("Shortented Tweet: " + tweet);
tweetLength = tweet.length();
}
