Random number not gen. number 0???

[Mr U]

So I'm really getting ticked I've looked around on the web for some help and everything say's I'm doing everything the right way. Yet when I'm trying to test this it output's a 0

{
				int id;
				int id2;
				Random ran = new Random();
				String base = "L 1147166230";
				id = ran.nextInt(4 + 1); //  error here not suppose to gen number 0
				id2 = ran.nextInt(999);
				Val = base + id + id2;
				box.setText(Val);
				box.setHorizontalAlignment(JTextField.CENTER);
				
			}

i ran your code and it worked fine..
maybe it's about how you define the box object..

From the API:

Returns a pseudorandom, uniformly distributed int value between 0 (inclusive) and the specified value (exclusive),

If you pass 5 to the nextInt method then the possibly return values will be 0, 1, 2, 3 & 4. If you do not want zero being generated then you will need to adjust your code.
