Thread: Random Letter problem please help!

I've got a database of words which are held in an arraylist. I have created a getWord method which selects a word at random. The computer needs to select a letter out of the seleted random Word. At the moment it is selecting a letter from A-Z which is not correct. I would like it to select a letter from the chosen word, similar to hangman.

private void chooseLetter() { boolean guessed=true; Random randomGenerator = new Random(); char letter = (char) (randomGenerator.nextInt(26)+65); chosen=word.hasLetter(letter);

Took me some time, but I got it

import java.io.*; import java.util.*;   public class RandomLetter {   public static void main(String args[]) {   Random generator = new Random(); int RandomNumber = 0; int RandomNumberTwo = 0; String words[] = new String [3]; words[0] = "TestForJavaForumsYahh"; words[1] = "BigTest"; words[2] = "Forums";   //Generate a random number from 0-2 RandomNumber = generator.nextInt(3);   //Get the length of the randomly selected string int length = words[RandomNumber].length();   //Generate a random number that is from 0-length RandomNumberTwo = generator.nextInt(length);   //Print out a character from the random word selected System.out.println(words[RandomNumber].charAt(RandomNumberTwo));   System.out.println(words[RandomNumber]);   } }

This randomly picks a word from your word bank. Then it randomly picks a letter from the word and prints it out.
