Random Numbers generator

[pinkdreammsss]

Hi guyz , ive been learning applet for 3 weeks,
i got a question , im tryin to create an application that generates random numbers n then show the generated numbers in applet viewer .

first lets take a look at my code :

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import static java.lang.Math.*;
public class Random extends Applet {
	
		static final String message="JAVA GUI";
		private Font font;
	
	public void init() {
			font=new Font("Arial",Font.BOLD,13);
		
	}

	public void paint(Graphics g) {
			
				
		int num,z,a;
		for (z=1;z<=10;z++){
		int x=(int)(Math.random()*10000%10);
		
		for (a=1;a<=x;a++){
		}
		
			g.setFont(font);
			g.drawString(message, 180,100);
			
		
	}
}
}

as you can i already know the way to generate random numbers , however i dont know the correct way to show'em in applet viewer , as i try to run the project the numbers are shown in java output but not in the applet viewer.
would you help me on this ? tnx :)

Okay, do you know what happen on the following line?

g.drawString(message, 180, 100);

[pinkdreammsss]

that suppose to show the text inside > " Text " < could you make this clear for me ? i wanna know how to show those numbers on viewer for god sake !

Ok, what happen when you run your code? It print text, JAVA GUI on the applet viewer. From where it print, or how the VM found that text to print into the applet.

g.drawString(message, 180, 100);

Where message is a string variable that holds the text JAVA GUI. So what you've to do, replace that message with your number x. But how? Because the drawString() expecting string literal, not an int. You have to do a conversion there from int to string.

Is that clear to you, in vary basic level.

so that means i have to replace x with Java GUI , right ? but how can i convert string to int ?

Integer.parseInt(String...) :rolleyes:

ive done some changes in code as below :

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import static java.lang.Math.*;
public class K extends Applet {
	
		public void init() {
		
	}

	public void paint(Graphics g) {
			
				
		int num,z,a;
		for (z=1;z<=10;z++){
		int x=(int)(Math.random()*10000%10);
		
		for (a=1;a<=x;a++){
		}
		
			g.drawString(Integer.toString(x),50,50);
			
		
	}
}
}

applet viewer shows somethin really small , i cant really say whats that !! could you guyz try the code n let me know the problem ?

Why did you change init() method.

    public void init() {
        font = new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 45);
    }

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import static java.lang.Math.*;
public class Damn extends Applet {
	private Font font;
	
		public void init() {
		
	}

	public void paint(Graphics g) {
		font=new Font("Arial",Font.BOLD,24);
			
				
		int num,z,a;
		for (z=1;z<=10;z++){
		int x=(int)(Math.random()*10000%10);
		
		for (a=1;a<=x;a++){
		}
		
			g.drawString(Integer.toString(x),50,50);
			
		
	}
}
}

ive done the changes , however still very small ! have you tried it yourself ? could you try and let me know ? tnx

Put the following in init() method.

font=new Font("Arial",Font.BOLD,24);
