Program: How to generate same random number sequence everytime?


Description:

Some times we need to generate same random number sequence everytime we call the sequence generator method on every call. We cannot achieve this if we use simple Random() class constructor. We need to pass seed to the Random() constructor to generate same random sequence. The below example, calls the generateSequence() method three times, and generates the same random sequence.


Code:
package com.java2novice.random;

import java.util.Random;

public class MySameSequenceWithRange {

	public void generateSequence(){
		Random rnd = new Random(40);
		for(int i=0;i<5;i++){
			System.out.println(rnd.nextInt(100));
		}
	}
	
	public static void main(String a[]){
		MySameSequenceWithRange mss = new MySameSequenceWithRange();
		mss.generateSequence();
		System.out.println("====================");
		mss.generateSequence();
		System.out.println("====================");
		mss.generateSequence();
	}
}

Output:

Knowledge Centre
Can interface be final?
No. We can not instantiate interfaces, so in order to make interfaces useful we must create subclasses. The final keyword makes a class unable to be extended.
