JavaFx random number to word problems

[bomberblyat]

Hey! Im stuck on trying to get my random number to display text on label, but it display that random number it generates, ive tried many times to solve it out, done some research haven't found answer to this yet, so maybe you guys know what im doing wrong on this. Code below

  public void generateRandom(ActionEvent event) {
        Random rand = new Random();
        int myrand = rand.nextInt(50) + 1;
        switch (myrand) {
            case 1:
                System.out.println("test1");
                break;
            case 2:
                System.out.println("test2");
                break;
            case 3:
                System.out.println("test3");
                break;
            case 4:
                System.out.println("test4");
                break;
            case 5:
                System.out.println("test5");
                break;
            case 6:
                System.out.println("test6");
                break;
            default:
                System.out.println("test7");
                break;
        }
                myMessage.setText(Integer.toString(myrand));
                System.out.println(Integer.toString(myrand));

        }
    }

From what I understand, you're generating a random number between 1-50 (or 0 and 50, not too sure..), and then running a switch statement from that random number. It looks to me like you want to write "test#" (where # is the generated number) on a label, but a switch statement is not the right thing to use here. You can simply do this:

System.out.println("test" + myRand);

Overall this code doesn't really make any sense. The ActionEvent parameter is never used in the function either, which leads me to believe you're going about handling listeners incorrectly.

Well, if you parse the number 6 to string then the text will be “6” so it is doing the right thing. You want it to be “six” or something?

Seems like you want to default everything to test 7

What im trying to do is kinda like, you click button, it generates number and that number is like id for each test, so it picks that test, im sure there's much simpler ways to do this but im quite new on javafx, do you have any suggestions or any help to fix this, i tried yours it didnt work it always prints (test text and number on netbeans console) but it doesnt print it on label it only prints the random number generated to label not text, thanks.

what do you mean? im dont really understand what do you mean.

[DtrollMC]

I can't really understand what you're saying, sorry dude. To set the text of a label, call the function setText(String text) on your button object.

[DtrollMC]

The button only has the number on it, because thats what you told it to contain.

 

myMessage.setText(Integer.toString(myrand));

 

If myRand is say, 4, then the myMessage component's text will say "4"

i think im doing my stuff on way more complicated way, im sure there's easier way so ill explain you idea of this thing so, User opens the software and then he clicks button and it generates one of my souts randomly, i tought doing it with random number was the best way.

Can’t understand what you want to do. What is souts? Writing coherent sentence is a vital forum posting skill.

Sorry, sout = System.out.println

Place label.setText inside the switch loop right under each cases.

Bro IDK how hard it can be to setText of a Label. I don't think any of us can really help you.

it's not hard it just doesnt work coz my code doesnt kinda make anysense, ill solve how to do it other way,

myMessage.setText(Integer.toString(whateverishere));

i know that  take's that shit from the code it just doesn't work, since my switch doesn't have id or someshit ive done now some string stuff, but thanks for trying to help i guess.
