Trying to return 5 random numbers between 1 and 42 in Java.
I currently have logic to return a single number (putting it into an ArrayList, but I'd like to do away with that.) I'm stumped on implementation to return 5 random numbers. Would I need 5 for loops?
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
int r = (int) (Math.random() * 42 + 1);
}
I've seen some other related examples here and they seem more complex than what my needs dictate. However, I could be wrong.

You can use the Set to generate 5 Unique Random numbers.
Random random = new Random();
Set randomNumbers = new HashSet();
while(randomNumbers.size()< 5) {
randomNumbers.add(random.nextInt(42)+1);
}
Since you've mentioned that you're using an ArrayList which will hold all the random numbers, you could just add all the elements present in randomNumbers set to your ArrayList.
Update:-
To suit your needs, you need to do something like this:-
Random random = new Random();
Set set = new HashSet();
while(set.size()< 5) {
set.add(String.valueOf(random.nextInt(42)+1));
}
fortuneList3.addAll(set);
