      Is there any function to assign a random integer to a variable? I know Math.random()
      which only generates double numbers.

      Thanks,

      there's a public class, java.util.Random, which
      has several methods like 'nextInt()' 'nextFloat()'
      and so forth.

      to flip a coin (random 0 or 1):


      Random coin = new Random();
      flip_result = Math.abs (coin.nextInt() % 2);
