Thread: Can anyone help me to find what code im wrong? thx

/* Program: Random number generator
* Written by: Chaitanya from beginnersbook.com
* Input: None
* Output:Random number between o and 200*/
import java.util.*;
class GenerateRandomNumber {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int counter;
Random rnum = new Random();
int jackpot = rnum();
/* Below code would generate 5 random numbers
* between 0 and 200.
*/
System.out.println("Random Numbers:");
System.out.println("***************");
for (counter = 1; counter <= 5; counter++) {
System.out.println(rnum.nextInt(200));
if( jackpot = 100){
/* This println statement will only execute,
* if the above condition is true
*/
System.out.println("jackpot!");
}
}
}
}

two problems i can see, rnum is an instance of class Random, it is not a method that returns an int that you can assign to int variable jackpot. Also in your loop when you generate each random number you need to save it to a variable before you can print and test it.

int jackpot;
 
for (counter = 1; counter <= 5; counter++) {
    jackpot = rnum.nextInt(200);
    System.out.println(jackpot);
    /* This println statement will only execute,
     * if the above condition is true
     */
    if( jackpot = 100){
        System.out.println("jackpot!");
    }
}

it worked thx! I just had to change ur line if( jackpot = 100){

to

if( jackpot == 100){
