The next() method of Random class returns the next pseudorandom value from the random number generator’s sequence.
Syntax:
protected int next(int bits)
Parameters: The function accepts a single parameter bits which are the random bits.
Return Value: This method returns the next pseudorandom number.
Exception: The function does not throws any exception.
Program below demonstrates the above mentioned function:
Program 1:
// program to demonstrate the // function java.util.Random.next() import java.util.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// create random object
Random ran = new Random();
// generate next random number
System.out.println( "Next value returns = "
+ ran.nextInt( 9 ));
}
} |
Output:
Next value returns = 8
Program 2:
// program to demonstrate the // function java.util.Random.next() import java.util.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// create random object
Random ran = new Random();
// generate next random number
System.out.println( "Next value returns = "
+ ran.nextInt( 55 ));
}
} |
Output:
Next value returns = 54
