Android

Excluding some results of a random generator.

Hello there, I'm very beginner on programing in general and just started learning to create apps for android devices using android studio.

I'm trying to create a random number generator, but I need to exclude some results. I thought about writing a code to let the app step back few steps to regenerate in case of getting the unwanted results. I'm not sure how to make that kind of code.

Thanks, Sayed

The short answer is:

do {
  //get a random number
} while (some condition);

This is also covered in the Java Basics course. Specifically in this video. You also might want to check out the rest of the Java Basics course; it goes into a lot more detail about Java than we do in Android.

Thanks for the replay.
