Probability in Java

Question

I was curious to know, how do I implement probability in Java? For example, if the chances of a variable showing is 1/25, then how would I implement that? Or any other proba

Answer 1

Java has a class called java.util.Random which can generate random numbers. If you want something to happen with probability 1/25, simply generate a random number between 1 and 25 (or 0 and 24 inclusive) and check whether that number is equal to 1.

if(new java.util.Random().nextInt(25)==0){
    //Do something.
}
