Hi Everyone!

I am trying to generate a random number with Java, but random in a specific range. For example, my range is 5-10, meaning that 5 is the smallest possible value the 

random number can take, and 10 is the biggest. Any other number in between these numbers is possible to be a value, too.

In Java, there is a method random() in the Math class, which returns a double value between 0.0 and 1.0. In the class Random there is a method nextInt(int n), which 

returns a random value in the range of 0 (inclusive) and n (exclusive). I couldn't find a method, which returns a random value between two numbers.

I have tried the following things, but I still have problems: (minimum and maximum are the smallest and biggest numbers).

randomNum = minimum + (int)(Math.random()*maximum); 

problem: randomNum takes is assinged values numbers bigger that maximum

Random rn = new Random();

int n = maximum - minimum + 1;

int i = rn.nextInt() % n;

randomNum =  minimum + i;

problem: randomNum takes is assigned values smaller than minimum.

Could you suggest how to solve my problem, or point me to some references?

Thanks in advance!
