Final answer:
The function nextInt(10) generates a random integer between 0 and 9, including 0 but excluding 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
The nextInt(10) method typically generates a random integer within the range [0, 10), meaning the minimum value is inclusive (0) and the maximum value is exclusive (10). In other words, it can produce integers from 0 to 9, inclusive.
The minimum value of nextInt(10) is always 0, as the lower bound is inclusive. This means that the method can generate 0 with the same probability as any other number in the specified range.
The maximum value of nextInt(10) is 9, as the upper bound is exclusive. This implies that the generated integers can take values from 0 up to 9 but will never actually be equal to 10.
To summarize, the range of possible values for nextInt(10) is [0, 9], inclusive of 0 and exclusive of 9. The method is designed to generate random integers within this specified range, and the probability of any particular integer in the range being generated is approximately equal.
