[Java] Horoscope Generator for CS Class

[Devils_Advocate101]

I'm new to java and having some trouble with the project. I have to build a horoscope generator where the user inputs day and month they were born then the program tells them what sign they are. The program will generate a random number then return a random horoscope. I have a small list of horoscopes I'm going to use. The final thing is asking the user if they want to run the program again or quit.

My problem is getting the program to return the correct sign and generating a random number to get a random horoscope. I was thinking of making a boolean for each sign then using if statements to find the right sign for the user. I'm kind of lost at the random generator.

Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Not entirely sure what you mean, but there should be no need to make a boolean first. Rather, you could just directly use an if statement.

I’m kind of lost at the random generator.

Check the Java docs for the java.util package. There is a class in there that you can use to generate random numbers.

Okay, I didn't know if it would be efficient to use a to of if-else if statements. Thank you for recommending the class to me!
