java替换所有相同字符,java替换重复的字符

So for an assignment I have to generate a random code, and have someone guess the code in the console. Now My problem is that I can't seem to find a way to replace any duplicate characters in the code. The code must range in "ABCDEF", and contain 4 letters. This is what I got so far:

char codeLetters;

String masterCode;

StringBuilder strings = new StringBuilder();

Random random = new Random();

for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {

codeLetters = code[random.nextInt(code.length)];

strings.append(codeLetters);

}

masterCode = strings.toString();

String temp = "";

boolean isDuplicate = false;

for (int i = 0; i < masterCode.length(); i++) {

isDuplicate = false;

char comparisonChar = masterCode.charAt(i);

for (int j = i + 1; j < masterCode.length(); j++) {

char nextChar = masterCode.charAt(j);

if (comparisonChar == nextChar) isDuplicate = true;

}

if (!isDuplicate) temp = temp + comparisonChar;

}

masterCode = temp;

System.out.println(masterCode);

it prints either a code consisting out of 2-3 letters, or a code containing 5 or 6 letters, and rarely a correct code with 4 letters. What this code does as far as I know is not add the duplicate characters, but I want it to Replace them instead with another character. Is there someway to replace the characters with another randomly generated char, which is not in the String yet, without using Sets?

It sounds like you only want to use each letter in code once? Why don't you set that up from the beginning using an ArrayList, and removing each character if it is randomly selected:

// copy `code` into a temporary arraylist

ArrayList possibleLetters = new ArrayList(code.length);

for (char c : code) possibleLetters.add(c);

// select randomly "without replacement"

for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {

int index = random.nextInt(possibleLetters.size());

codeLetters = possibleLetters.remove(index);

strings.append(codeLetters);

}
