Java: Random


In this example we create a random speed jump by a certain constant.

private Random random = new Random();

private static final double SPEED_M_PER_S = 2.2352;  /* 5 MPH */
private static final double MAX_RANDOM_DELTA = 0.13;

double speed = SPEED_M_PER_S 
+ Math.min(MAX_RANDOM_DELTA, random.nextDouble()) 
* (random.nextBoolean() ? -1 : 1);

My favorite quotations..


“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”  by Robert A. Heinlein
