Java-Randomly generate 100 chars?

Nala

Hi all,
I'm writing a program where I have to het the computer to randomly generate 100 chars in the range A to Z, how do I do this? I've tried a few websites but no luck.
Cheers!

wel what u cud do is initialise a char array of size 26 and then input all the letters a - z
then use something like this to generate the 100 chars...

Random generator = new Random();
int ranNum = 0;

for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
ranNum = generator.nextInt(26);
System.out.println("Random Char " + (i + 1) + " is " + arrayName[ranNum]);
}

and that should give u an output like...

Random Char 1 is A
Random Char 2 is P
Random Char 3 is W.... etc

wouldn't it be a bit simpler to do

Random generator = new Random();
for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
char ch = (char) ('a' + generator.nextInt(26));
System.out.println(ch);
}
