Math.random in array and reverse order

[eugenechia]

Hello, I have an unsolved program.

I'm required to get user input on number of random numbers to appear.
e.g if user enter 3, then 3 lines of random numbers will appear.

Thereafter, the 3 random generated numbers MUST be reversed.

Here is the required output:

Enter the number of random numbers : 3
Here are the 3 random numbers:
0.123456789
0.246891357
0.369123456
Here they are again, in reverse order:
0.369123456
0.246891357
0.123456789

Requirements:
Use Scanner class
use Math.random

here is my unfinished code:

import java.util.*;

class RandomNumbers{
	public static void main(String[] args) {


		Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
		int n;

		int [] array = new int[n];

		System.out.print("Enter the number of random numbers: ");
		n = scan.nextInt();

		System.out.println("Here are the "+n+" random numbers:");

		for(int a=0; a<n.length; a++) {
			n[a]=(int)(Math.random());
			System.out.println(n[a]);
			}

		System.out.println("Here they are again, in reverse order:");

		}
}

Thank you for your help everyone !

Well, you did get pretty far, just a bit more and it's done. My reccomendation is this, you use int a as the couter in your for loop, why not define it outside the loop, so you can use it after the first loop is over? That way, you already a counter that points to the end of the array, all you would have to do before using it again is a--;.

As the size of the array is dinamic - the user says how many numbers it must be stored - shouldn't you use ArrayList? Or there is a limit about how many numbers the user can asked?

Your code doesn't compile in my environment.

The size of the array is no problem:

Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("How many numbers do you wish to generate?");
int size = s.nextInt();
double[] result = new double[size];

Now, I'll give you a pretty big hint (to the OP), just fill in the blanks:

//you existing code
import java.util.Scanner;

public class NumGen {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
      System.out.println("How many numbers do you wish to generate?");
      int size = s.nextInt(), counter;
      double[] result = new double[size];
      for(counter = 0; counter < size; couter++) {
         result[counter] = Math.random();
         System.out.println(result[counter]);
      }
      counter--;
      for( ; ; ;) //just fill in this for loop
         System.out.println(result[counter]);
     }
}

Just figure out the logic of the second for loop, and your assignment is solved.

Thank you everyone. The assignment is complete. here is the full code.

import java.util.*;

class Program1{
        public static void main(String[] args) {


                Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
                int n;

                System.out.print("Enter the number of random numbers: ");
                n = scan.nextInt();

                double [] array = new double[n];

                System.out.println("Here are the "+n+" random numbers:");

                for(int a=0; a<array.length; a++) {
                        array[a]=(Math.random());
                        System.out.println(array[a]);
                        }

                System.out.println("Here they are again, in reverse order:");

                for(int a=array.length-1;a>=0; a--){
						System.out.println(array[a]);
					}

                }
}
