Question

Assume that rand is an object of the Random class.

Which of the following statements generates a random number in the [-101..-41] range?
(A) int number = rand.nextInt(61) - 101;
(B) int number = rand.nextInt(61) - 41;
(C) int number = rand.nextInt(-41) - 101;
(D) int number = rand.nextInt(-101) - 41;

Answer 1

The correct statement that generates a random number in the [-101..-41] range is (A) int number = rand.nextInt(61) - 101

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement that generates a random number in the [-101..-41] range is (A) int number = rand.nextInt(61) - 101;

To understand why, let's break down the statement:

• rand.nextInt(61): This generates a random integer between 0 and 60.
• rand.nextInt(61) - 101: This subtracts 101 from the random number generated in the previous step, resulting in a number between -101 and -41.

Therefore, option (A) is the correct statement to generate a random number in the specified range.
