To enter the UK lottery, you need to choose six different numbers between 1 and 49.
This program uses a for loop to create 100 lines of lottery numbers.
It stores each line’s values in an array then uses a boolean and a while loop to ensure that each number is only used once per line.
The individual numbers are chosen using Math.random().
In common with many other programming languages, this generates a
random value between 0 and 1 so it has to be converted to give a value
between 1 and 49:
Solaris > cat prog44.java
public class prog44
{
public static void main (String args[])
{
int x;
for(x=1;x<=100;x++)
{
int[] numbers_used = new int[6];
int y;
for (y=0;y<=5;y++)
{
boolean number_found = false;
while (!number_found)
{
int lottery_number =(int)(Math.random()*49)+1;
number_found = true;
int z;
for (z=0;z<y;z++)
{
if (lottery_number == numbers_used[z])
{
number_found = false;
break;
}
}
if (number_found)
{
numbers_used [y] = lottery_number;
if (lottery_number <10) System.out.print(" ");
System.out.print(lottery_number+" ");
}
}
}
System.out.print("\n");
}
}
}
