Re: [android-developers] Re: How to generate random numbers between 1 to 8?

Hi, how about this:

public int getMyNumber()

{

    int min = 1;
    int max = 8;
    

Random r = new Random();
    
int i = r.nextInt(max - min + 1) + min

    switch(i)

    {

    case >= 5 && < 8: return getMyNumber()

    default: return i;

    }

Why in the world would you use recursion to solve this simple problem... Not only that, but theoretically (probably not in practice) you could end up in an infinite or a really long recursion loop...

Bob's way was much nicer and cleaner.
