Answer:
The codes (written in Java) that implement the logic as described in the question are presented below:
- import java.util.Random;
- public class Main {
- public static void main(String[] args) {
- int a[] = new int[12];
- Random rand = new Random();
- int k = rand.nextInt(7);
- a[k] = 15;
- }
- }
Explanation:
An integer array with a specific size 12 is declared and named as a (Line 7).
Since the variable k is expected to hold a value between 0 and 6, one way to achieve the aim is to randomly generate an integer between 0 to 6 and then assign it to the variable k. We can create a random integer within a specific range using Java Random Generator. The steps are as follows:
- import Java Random class (Line 1)
- create a Random object (Line 9)
- use nextInt() method of the Random object to generate a random integer. To ensure the generated integer is within the range 0 - 6, just simply pass 7 as the argument of the nextInt() method. nextInt(7) will generate an integer in the range of 0 <= x < 7
- Assign generated random number to variable k (Line 10)
- Assign 15 to a[k] (Line 12)
