6.9 Case Study: Secure Random-Number Generation
We now take a brief diversion into a popular type of programming application—simulation and game playing. In this and the next section, we develop a game-playing program with multiple methods. The program uses most of the control statements presented thus far in the book and introduces several new programming concepts.
The element of chance can be introduced in a program via an object of class SecureRandom (package java.security). Such objects can produce random boolean, byte, float, double, int, long and Gaussian values. In the next several examples, we use objects of class SecureRandom to produce random values.
