NEW UPDATE: Quality of life improvements and the ability to run program without an IDE!

• REQUIREMENTS:

  • Windows Operating System (tested on Windows 10)
  • Java JDK version 17+ (May work on older versions, but I only tested with version 17.0.2)
    • Link: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/

• DESCRIPTION: The folder 'ExternalUse' contains updated code for 'CreateRandSampFile' with a batch file that'll execute the code so an IDE isn't required.

• INSTALL/USAGE:

  1. Download Repository (Code -> Download ZIP)
  2. Unzip either entire repository or the 'ExternalUse' folder to a new folder
  3. Open 'ExternalUse' and select '.CreateSampFile'
  4. Either open '.CreateSampFile' and run 'run.bat' or move the folder to another place in your hard drive

CreateRandSampFile

Little program that generates a text file with random numbers. I was really tired of typing random numbers for class so here is my solution!

NOTICE: this will work only if you are using an IDE on your local system, meaning that online IDE's such as JDoodle will not work (as far as I know)

• I recommend IntelliJ IDEA if you need an IDE (Link: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/)

Instructions

• First open the 'src' folder and then open 'CreateFile.java' (on GitHub)
• I recommend copying and pasting the code into your IDE, however, you can download either the file or the entire repository
  • I could be wrong about the repository (still new to GitHub)
• Build/Run the .java file in your IDE after setting the location for file creation
  • code comments should help you out here
  • you will be prompted to enter the number of values required for your assignment/project after successfully running the program, which will specify how many random numbers will be in the file created.
• Finally open the created file and verify that it was generated successfully
  • file should have a positive integer number on every line
