random numbers

[Ams]

hi,
I am writing a method to invoke random numbers. I need the numbers to
be in the range 0-1000 but the numbers that i have created are huge
with around 7 digits. Does anyone no how or if its even possible to do
this??
Would greatly appreciate any help...

Look at the nextInt(int n) method, this returns a random int between 0
and n-1.

Hmm, it's been a while, but something like this:

int bigRandom;
int myRandom;

myRandom = (bigRandom%1000) + 1;

?

java.util.Random random = new java.util.Random();
int requiredRandomNumber = random.nextInt(1001);
