String yourString = article[(int)(article.length*Math.random())] + " " + noun[(int)(noun.length*Math.random())] + " " + verb[(int)(verb.length*Math.random())] + " " + preposition[(int)(preposition.length*Math.random())];<br><br>If you have to do it in one line of code, that's it. As for making the first letter capital... I'm not sure if you can use toUpperCase() while you're forming the string- you might need to make your string and then invoke toUpperCase. If this isn't the truth, please let me know, because I have a program that has to convert the first string to lowercase, and I'm using a lot of code to do it- I'm taking substrings and adding them, it looks ugly. You can't do that here without making sure that the random number is the same both times..<br><br>Well, have fun. <p>Liam Morley<br><a href=mailto:lmorley@wpi.edu>lmorley@wpi.edu</a><br><a href=] :: imotic :: website :: [</a><br>"light the deep, and bring silence to the world.<br>

I tried this and it works, you may have to modify it for your situation:<br><br>public class Test<br>{<br> public static void main(String[] args) <br> {<br> String[] article = {"the","a","one","some","any"};<br> String[] noun = {"boy","girl","dog","town","car"};<br> String[] verb = {"drove","jumped","walked","ran","skipped","hopped"};<br> String[] preposition = {"with","from","over","under","on"};<br> <br> String randString = article[(int)(Math.random()*(article.length - 1))].toUpperCase() + " " + noun[(int)(Math.random()*(noun.length - 1))] + " " + verb[(int)(Math.random()*(verb.length - 1))] + " " + preposition[(int)(Math.random()*(verb.length - 1))] + ".";<br> <br> System.out.println(randString);<br><br> }<br>}<br><br><br><br>I hope this helps <p> fenris<br><a href=mailto:fenris@hotmail.com>fenris@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
fenris,<br>first thing is, you should be able to not need the length - 1; you can just use length. Otherwise, the last word will never come up.<br><br>second thing is that toUpperCase() will capitalize the entire string, not just the first character.<br><br><br>And I forgot the period in my example
