I would like to pick a random letter out of a list B
, C
, D
at random order and would make sure that they do not repeat. I have tried this but it repeats the letters
JavaScript
x
public class Test {
static Random r = new Random();
static char pickRandom(char letters) {
return letters[r.nextInt(letters.length)];
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
System.out.print(pickRandom('B', 'C', 'D'));
}
}
}

You should check, if character already taken, for example declare another one array which contains already taken character, so if character caontains in this array, try to select another character, OR you can simply use Collections.shuffle method(Collection knowledge required)
JavaScript
List<Character> solution = new ArrayList<>();
solution.add('a');
solution.add('Y');
solution.add('Z');
Collections.shuffle(solution);
