Question

Create a method called randomValues that uses a while loop to generate a random number between 1-25 until the value 10 is generated. Therefore, 10 will be the value that stops your loop from generating a random number.

Answer 1

Answer:

The method in Java is as follows:

public static void randomValues(){

    Random r = new Random();

    int sentinel = 10;

    int randNum = r.nextInt(24) + 1;

    while(randNum!=sentinel){

        System.out.print(randNum+" ");

        randNum = r.nextInt(24) + 1;

    }

    System.out.print(sentinel);

}

Explanation:

This defines the method

public static void randomValues(){

This creates a random object, r

    Random r = new Random();

This sets the sentinel value to 0

    int sentinel = 10;

This generates a random number

    int randNum = r.nextInt(24) + 1;

This loop is repeated until the the random number is 10

    while(randNum!=sentinel){

Print the generated number

        System.out.print(randNum+" ");

Generated another random number

        randNum = r.nextInt(24) + 1;     }

Print the sentinel (i.e. 10)

    System.out.print(sentinel);

}
