random class...

Name: Anonymous 2006-11-07 1:10

guys im trying to create a simulation of the lottery using java... i am makin an array consisting of 5 random numbers ranging from 0 to 9 the thing is i can only get the amount of arrays the class has and everytime i run the application all i get for the 5 random numbers are a bunch of zeros.

this is my code so far...

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Random;
public class Lottery
{
    public static void main (String[] args)
    {
            int[] lotteryNumbers = new int[5];
            int indx;
        int num1, num2, num3, num4, num5;
        Random rand = new Random();
        int sum = 0;
            Scanner key = new Scanner(System.in);
       
        System.out.println("The array size is " +                          lotteryNumbers.length);
        for (indx = 0; indx <5; indx++)
        {
       
                num1 = rand.nextInt(9);
            num2 = rand.nextInt(9);
            num3 = rand.nextInt(9);
            num4 = rand.nextInt(9);
            num5 = rand.nextInt(9);
           
           
            System.out.println(lotteryNumbers[indx]);
          
        }

i forgot to mention the user also has to input his own 5 numbers to see if he won the "grand prize". but i think i have that part down for now... all i am really interested in are those damn 5 random numbers which i cant seem to get right... any help would be appreciated.

using System;
class Lottery
{
    static void Main()
    {
        int[] num = new int[5];
        Random rand = new Random();
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i = i + 1)
        {
            while (num[i] == 0)
            {
                num[i] = rand.Next(9);
            }

            Console.WriteLine("Ball number " +i +" is " +num[i]);
           
        }
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

It's in C# so I don't know how useful it will be for you.
