How To Print A Character Random Number Of Times

Oct 26, 2011

I'm trying to write a method that will print a string of a random number of X's (from 5 to 20) on a line, then another number of X's on the next line, etc. until the random number = 16.

I have to use while loops and probably fencepost algorithms. I'm confused with how to print the number of x's the random number of times over and over.

Right now, I'm pretty sure my for loop is wrong or unnecessary.

So far, this is my code:

public static void randomX() {
int x = 0;
while (x != 16) {
x = (int)(Math.random()*20) + 5;
for (int i = 0; i <= x; i++);
{
System.out.print("x");
}
}
}

Count And Display Number Of Times Specified Character Appears In String

Mar 7, 2014

Write a program using a while-loop (and a for-loop) that asks the user to enter a string, and then asks the user to enter a character. The program should count and display the number of times that the specified character appears in the string. (So, you will have two separate program codes, one using a while-loop and the other one using a for-loop.)

Example:
Enter a string: "Hello, JAVA is my favorite programming language."
Enter a character: e
The number of times the specified character appears in the string: 3

I don't even know where to begin I've only got this

import java.util.Scanner;
 public class letterCounter {
 public static void main(String [] args) {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter a string");
String myString = sc.nextLine();
System.out.println("Enter a letter");
String letter = sc.nextLine();
}
}

Accept String And Number Of Repetitions As Parameters And Print String Given Number Of Times

Oct 3, 2014

I'm having a hard time with this problem, this is what I have, but I can not use two integers, I have to use one integer and a string...

This is the question:

Write a method called printStrings that accepts a String and a number of repetitions as parameters and prints that String the given number of times. For example, the call:

printStrings("abc", 5);

will print the following output: abcabcabcabcabc

This is what I attempted:

public class printStringsproject {
public static void printStrings(int abc, int number) {
for (int i = 1; i <= number; i++) {
System.out.print("abc");
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
printStrings(1, 5);
}
}

Java Random Road Cross - Generate Random Number Between One To Ten

Dec 8, 2014

The program I'm supposed to create generates a random number between one to ten. Then the program is to ask me if I wish to cross the road. If you choose to cross, the outcomes for 0-2 are "You crossed safely." For 3-5, 75% of the time it should say "RIP you got run over", and 35% of the time it should say "You crossed the street." For 6-8, 60% of the time it should say you made it.", and 40% of the time it should say "You died". For 9-10, it should say "RIP".

So far I have gotten the random number generation part working. I have up to here:

import java.util.Random;
public class test4 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Random random = new Random();
for(int i =0; i < 1; i++){
int num = random.nextInt(10) + 1;
System.out.println("The number of cars on the street are: " + num + "Do you wish to cross the road?");
}
}
}

Continue Statement - Print Out What Numbers Showing Up And How Many Times For Each

Mar 22, 2014

I read on how to use the continue statement, but I'm failing in how to use it properly, mostly because it's not working. I'm supposed to print out what numbers are showing up and how many times for each. Plus, I have to print out 'times' instead of 'time' if there's more than one of a certain number. Right now, it's printing out all the numbers including the ones that don't get inputted.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class occurrence {
public static void main(String[] args) {
 
//scanner/values
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

Three Ways To Print Dash Character

Feb 14, 2014

Find three ways to make the program below print 20 copies of the dash character '-' by changing /adding just one character.

int i,n=20;
for(i=0;i<n;i--){
System.out.println("-");
}

I found two solutions but till now not able to find the third one. The two solutions are

int i,n=20;
for(i=0;i<n;n--){
System.out.println("-");
}

and,

int i,n=20;
for(i=0;-i<n;i--){
System.out.println("-");

How To Find How Many Times A Number Appears In Array

Dec 7, 2014

This is my code up to now and I can't do anything to make it work. I want it to tell me how many times the number 3 appears, and the last position it was in. I am getting errors like"Cuanto.java:88: getPosition(double[],double) in Cuanto cannot be applied to (double) ....

a = getPosition(a);" and unreachable statements, and value not found. It's all over the place every time I make a change to it.

Java Code:

public class Cuanto {
static int getPosition(int count,double listOfValues[],
double targetValue) {
int a = 0, i;
for (i=0; i < listOfValues.length; i++) {
if (listOfValues[i] == targetValue) {
a++;

Multiply Two Numbers - Add X Number Y Amount Of Times

Jun 9, 2014

I am trying to make a program to multiplies two numbers without using the "*" operator. My idea was to add x number y amount of times, which is the same as multiplication. I did this with a for loop, but zero is always returned as the answer. How can I fix this?

public class secondMult {
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println(multWithSum(4,5));
}
public static int multWithSum(int x, int y){
int sum = 0;
for(int i = 0; i==y;i++){
sum = sum + x;
}
return sum;
}
}

Coin Classes - Count Number Of Times Head And Tail Appear

Mar 26, 2014

I am trying to flip a coin 1000 times and make the driver class count the number of times a head and tails appear. However, I am having some trouble trying to figure out the error:

package Week5;
import java.util.Random;
public class Coin {
private int heads;
private int tails;
private int face;

[Code] ....

I was able to print out the generated numbers, but java will print either heads or tails a thousand times and count that as 1000 and nil for the other probability...

Character Converting Into Number In 2D Char Array?

Mar 29, 2014

I'm trying to convert all letters in a 2D char array into number. As results, I want a = 0, b=1, c=2, ... z=25.

Then, I tried this as part of my code:

char [][] letters = {{'i', 'u'}, {'a', 'g'}, {'e', 'k'}};
for (int i = 0; i < letters.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < letters[i].length; j++) {
if (letters[i][j] >= 'a' && letters[i][j] <= 'z') {
letters[i][j] = (char) ((letters[i][j] - 'a') + '0');
}
}
}

The result of my code is not what I expected before.

From 'a' to 'j', it worked well. But, from 'k' until 'z' it didn't print expected number.

What's wrong with my code and what is the correct way to fix it?

Random Number Calculator

Feb 1, 2015

the program basically has a random number generating, and I want to ask the user to try to guess the number, and keep guessing until the number is right. In addition to this, I need to put in extra conditions for too high or too low by 10. So for example, if they user guesses a number and its off by more than 10, then it prints that they guessed too high, and if its below 10 they guessed too low.

import java.util.*;
public class RandomNum
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{

Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

[code].....

Modify the program to keep the user trying to guess the number till he/she gets it right, and stop once you guess the right number.Too high, high, too low, too low( If it's off by more than 10 = way too high, if its less than 10, way too low)

Generate Random Number From 0 - 2

Jan 16, 2015

How would I get java to generate a random number from 0-2? all I've been able to find on random numbers is math.random which gives you from .0 to .10. you can multiply this by 10 to get 1-10 or by 100 to get 1-100 but how to make it so java will simply let me tell it the rand of numbers I want or get a random number in a range that is not a multiple of 10. and I can't seem to find anything about it anywhere.

Random Number With User Prompt?

Sep 8, 2014

I am wanting this program to prompt the user to enter a maximum value and a minimum value and the program should in theory generate a random number for the output. Here is my logic:

int maxRange1;
int minRange1;
static int range;
static Random gen;

Then in my mail argument:

gen = new Random();
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter the maximum number: ");
int maxRange1 = input.nextInt();

[Code] ....

I am able to return both the user prompts and get the inputted answer to appear but I am not getting a response for the prompt "The random number is: ".

Random Number Generation And 2D Arrays

The problem you have is that it doesn't produce a 4x4 array. For that you need more nested for loops.This is what I have tried so far:

import java.util.Random;
public class challenged2e
{
static Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
public static int i=0;
public static void main (String args[])

[code]...

I get 21 errors and they all have to do with i and j.
