How to Write a Blurb With a Java Program

Instructions

1

Set up a Blurb class. This class will contain a String array, which will contain the blurbs, as well as a counter to count the number of blurbs:

import java.io.*;
import java.util.Random;

class Blurb

String[] blurbs = new String[20];

int count = 0;

public static void main(String args[])




2

Create a list of blurbs in an array:

public static void main(String args[])

blurbs[0] = "blurb 1";
blurbs[1] = "blurb 2";
blurbs[2] = "blurb 3";
blurbs[3] = "blurb 4";

count = 4; //four blurbs

3

Generate a random number in the main program:

Random r = new Random(); //random number up to

4

Cycle through the blurbs at short intervals, using a random number each time:

for (int i = count; i < count; i++)
int current = r.nextInt(count); //random number between 0 and 3
System.out.println(blurbs[current]);

Thread.sleep(10000); //pause for ten seconds
