thank you. But we should not use random class and math.random.and those numbers should be written to a file also.

If you can use a database you can set a table to create the random number per 1 to a million. hit it and then extract the last insert. If need be sense you would be utilizing a db then you could write the results to a text file.

is tehre a reason for not being able to use the functions and methods that are set to perfomr this task? The work arounds are lacking efficiency and performance for what should be a simple predefined class
